I was recently looking at someones post on conservation of matter with black holes and one person said that a black holes mass compensates for the matter sucked in. Assuming the theory that No amount of energy what so ever is released would not the black holes mass increase towards infinity?

good question it looks like it would

If the purpose of a Black hole was to soak and swallow mass into it. Then it would have a continuous increasing appetite as its mass increases.It would be the Ogre of the Universe and there never would be enough to feed him. Until we find a purpose for the postulated black hole ,it still remains the subject of many speculations.

The mass of a black hole increases with every atom it takes in but it will never reach a stage of infinite mass.

if all the calculations and theories about black holes are correct, then everything sucked into one is eventually drawn to a single point of infinate smallness, and infinate mass

The mass would increase to infinity.

this "problem" is fixed by one of Hawking's theories; which is that black holes give off Hawking radiation, and radiation is a form of energy

given enough mass to suck in it will continuously grow, however if it runs out of fuel to suck it will eventually dissipate
