Yep, it’s more of how Bliz handles threads that reach over 20’000 not deleted posts 
But You do imply what could be a slight problem decades down the road.
In 2035, when the wow player base is waiting the upcoming x-pac “World of Warcraft : The Search for a story without too many plotholes” players might be wondering what we were thinking 
“I am hoping they read this, and change the title for us.”
We’ll see where it goes.
This thread would definitely be new territory for bliz.
Have you looked back at the posts made by the OP. Just a sea of closed threads (oh man that system is such a troll - wonder if it ever got flagged )
“What posts?”
for the continuation - “system” way up there on post #1 of this thread.
It has 3016 posts. When u view activity, its just a sea of automatic closure posts.
This part 2 thread might be the first time a bliz automated forum feature got likes
“AH! Those posts. Yeah. I added one too.”
Some folks in bliz must scratch their heads over us sometimes
"Oh man - Shadowlands, they want to burn us at the stake for…but our automated system feature - they give likes…what is it with these people "
“We are just thanking them, for caring about us.”

Surprised and pleased how both current active GD lounge threads have done
“Indeed.”

I see the rest of GD had another , well only way to call it is another Sunday
“Sunday Funday.”

Family was frazzling me a little yesterday - so for my own mind I avoided it till the calm of morning hit
I find it more enjoyable when I’m relaxed 
“The gems for my next Tall Walking Stick should arrive this week. Happy thought.”
/grin
ooo fantastic
ooo darkmoon.
I can push one of my blue elfys along
“I wonder how they will do the Faire in Classic.”
“You gonna catch up with my DK today?”
lord willin and the bank phone don’t ring yep yep
“It only takes a few minutes.”
I can send notes on classic darmoon too - but thinking this month might be a pass.
