| 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. |

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