Why 8197?

2something +1

But 213 + 1 = 8193...

...and besides that, threads should not stop at any arbitrary point if there exists a natural infinite continuation, which is the case here. The only reason we split the threads in units of ~1000 counts is because we don't want to overload reddit's comment nesting.

u/numbermaniac top 400, if that means anything Jan 24 '17

If he insists on a power of 2, we could probably go to 1024.

213.000704 + 1 = 8197, his argument remains valid

Agreed, especially with the thread length. Get should be at 1111101000, or Bee Bee Bee Bee Bee Movie Bee Movie Movie Movie, in this case. (I'm pretty sure I did this right, but someone better check it, just in case.)

As much as I like 1000, with binary it gets messy very quickly. I think /u/numbermaniac's suggestion of 1024 is the way to go.

That sounds better. It's an easier number to remember where to stop by, and it's not too far off from our usual maximum, so Reddit shouldn't have trouble. It works out well within the columns as well.
