Looking at Avatar, for example, which one might imagine would have a lot of lists, it ends on page 4 but is clearly not truncated from a longer list as it ends at 991 (not 1,000 as it would be if there were actually more pages):

a few days ago if i would look at movie like avatar there where 20 pages and about 5000 lists (and i'm sure there are more but they limited to 20 pages) but now there is a limit of 5 pages and 1000 lists and i don't understand why
at first i thought i have a bug in my account or something
but you say that you see it also that way so maybe the web made a change or working on it?!
i hope it wouldn't stay like this

Star Wars is displaying all 993 lists:
http://www.imdb.com/lists/tt0076759/?&page=4
Now the question is not why it is stopping after a certain number of pages (which implies there are lists not being displayed), but where have all the other lists gone?
My lists are all there, but they also tend to be tend to be on more obscure films, so it is tricky to say. However, I have a space horror list:
http://www.imdb.com/list/Ca8QyQQmRoA/
Which should appear on the Aliens related lists (I can find it on obscure films with smaller numbers of related lists) and doesn't (it ends at 992 - suspiciously similar numbers):
http://www.imdb.com/lists/tt0090605/?&page=4
So something is going on, but I can't quite figure out what. You'd imagine if the pages are being truncated, they'd all end at 1,000. However, they clearly not just cleared out a lot of lists (there were a tonne of spam lists that needed clearing up) as I know there are visible lists not showing up.
Perhaps staff could shed some light on this...

Staff have "staff" next to their user name and their avatar is outlined in green.

There are a lot of spam lists appearing and I reported that on the related lists page the descriptions were still appearing in full along with their formatting, although they'd taken steps to not display external links in the description when viewing the pages.
My lists all usually contain links and that might be a reason they are no longer displaying in related lists - skimming through some of the above examples I see that the ones on the related lists section either have no description or a short one without links.
Although this does seem to explain why some lists are currently not displaying, it doesn't explain why on the three examples I give all the lists contain 990ish lists, which are too similar to be coincidence (unless it is, although the odds are low).
