What if this forum can not have more than 100 threads and 100 post per thread. In celebration of the 100 pages of this thread.
Well I'll get in one of the last posts before it closes then. Apart from the fact we would have reached those limits some time back.

Wouldn’t those limits also necessitate routine content deletion, which would discourage members (including myself) from participating knowing that our posts and threads will eventually reach the chopping block?

Well it could be a ASB thing that happen out of control over who ever runs a forum.

Well it could be a ASB thing that happen out of control over who ever runs a forum. Maybe so, but a hard limit of a hundred threads and posts means either a) we can’t post anymore or b) or if we can, we have to delete prior content to make room for new content. Either case would dissuade me from participating here any longer, and I doubt I’d be alone. Fortunately for us, though, we don’t have to seriously contemplate that happening anytime soon.

‘Words Suddenly Get Opposite Meanings’. So peace now means violence, and vice-versa.

I’m talking about individual words and terms (maybe also morphemes) inexplicably taking on the opposite definitions. So peace now means violence, fix means break, up means down—and vice-versa.

Other than that, I can’t come up with exact predictions for the wider ramifications of ASB’s definition-switching. Hopefully, people would catch on and adapt before all hell breaks loose and a key tenant of human interaction and organization—communication—ends in world-on-fire madness.

Without a doubt, at least until people realize what's happened and adapt appropriately. But little kids just learning to speak and elderly people without the mental faculties to adjust to the sudden change will be in for a rough while, that's for certain.
