a stack overflow-like ROBLOX game?

a forum inside a game with syntax indentation, highlighting, etc?

i already made something like this called Late Forums, doesn't include syntax stuff though so give it a try. the only thing i would worry about is how would copy and pasting code to test it would work? you cant highlight textlabels

You've got to make sure you're not exceeding any limits though (Data limit per key, request limit)
That may be a problem if it starts growing.

If it grows, you could try and store it on an external server

well lets say i store the threads like:

{
{
poster = "",
text = ""
},
{
poster = "",
text = ""
}
...
}

how quickly would that approach the storage limit?

You should probably start out by storing on it on website database, through HTTP Service.

I can't remember the size of a blank string, but you'll be storing, baseBytes + textCharBytes. So you can fill up quite easily depending on lengths of texts + how many people use.

{
{
poster = "",
text = ""
},
{
poster = "",
text = ""
}
...
}

You would reach the limit fairly quickly.

if i were you id save the tables as JSON strings. i made the mistake of saving them as tables and it took a while for threads to load.

There is no such thing as saving them as a table. A table is just going to be converted to JSON
