I've got a

question about the store.. Looking at the Store main page, each item has a quantity beside it. Ostensibly, this is

used so that any purchases keep their exclusive cachet by limiting the quantity available to them. I've noticed

that since the discount coupon was instituted, it's gone from 20 to 12. Will it not longer be available when it

hits zero? Will it be refilled, or should I work really hard to get the points I need to be able to purchase it?

Guess:

It's just a way to

prevent:

a. Hundreds of people buying the same thing that may cause a huge problem with the forum (Lots of

sticky threads) or L-S site (hundreds of 50% discounts)
b. Hackers from screwing up the forum too much (Lots of

sticky threads or hundreds of 50% discounts)

I'm sure that normal use will lead to an easy replenishment of the

stock of each item in the store...or things like sticky threads may remain limited and gain new rules like special

duration.

Actually, I'm not sure why they

have those available quantities. I think they do auto-reset, but in any case, there is no particular meaning to

those numbers and they will be replenished somehow. Not to worry.
