Not really. Like you said, who's going to get the most amount of Tings possible?
I don't see how I could have misunderstood this. The highest amount (is there is one) would be something like 9999999999999999999999, and I seriously doubt anyone will get such an amount.

But if someone ever does, they should be awarded with the gift of custom rank.

It will take hundreds of years for anyone to reach 99999999999999999999 Tings, so I don't see the point.

I doubt that's the limit.

The maximum amount is 99.999.999.999 Tings, but I can easily change it by modifying the database structure. Anyway, no one will ever reach that limit.

You act like it's impossible, but it isn't. If it was, why would the limit exist?

If you continue posting at your current rate (ca. 10 000 tings pr. month) it will take you approximately 800 000 years to get that amount of tings.
EDIT: Roughly calculated.

You don't know anything about database structure
If you did, you would understand why limits have to be set up. And anyway, it's totally impossible to reach it by posting

Well... it's impossible to reach with normal posts and not spam.

I'm not sure you understand: even if you posted one message every second, it would take you more than six hundred years.

If only there was a way to post 500.000 messages in 1 nano-second...

Well, you can reckon how long it needs when you post so much messages in a nano-second.
Well, you could develope a Bot, which has the option to pollute the community quickly with Spam.

As far as I see it there's only one way to have such an amount of Tings, and that would be for either Hunchman or myself to edit users' amounts.
But we aren't going to

I posted 130 messages in 30 seconds on record day, but that was due to a glitch in the forum system.

Well, isn't because every attribute in the MySQL table has a character maximum ?

It's the case for INT values
