A max limit of 10,000 messages history for your 8,500 free users, premium cost at $60/user/year.
An engineer designs a product for the specifications she/he is given. Slack's engineers were given the specs above and obviously designed and optimized their product for much smaller teams than yours.
Jesus, what a mess. Sounds like someone made a decision without doing even a modicum of research into pricing. Bowing to peer pressure just means someone is managing by consensus.
Hard to really fault him since he ran into an undisclosed max user limit, no?
Unbelievable that a service like this would change the key part of their platform without even checking the pricing page to see what free plan restrictions were...
EDIT: I stopped reading after the first paragraph, looks like there was a user limit issue too :)

Yeah dude, wtf, 5000 users and you think you can get away for free?

But you should always move fast and break things, don't look before you leap. It's the startup mentality and it's the way real scrappy entrepreneurs do things.
The one thing that has me mostly abandoning Gitter is that switching channels is incredibly slow on the browser. If Gitter had a standalone client, I'd be willing to give it another shot, but until then, I'm a proponent of using IRC & Slack.

No, slack free plan only allows 10000 messages to be saved at any one time. Nothing to do with user limit.
