limits - Sum of all the positive integers problem

The staff of Numberphile has shown that the sum of all the integers from 0 to is 112. Recently I was looking for the sum of all the (positive) integers from 0 to n and I found that:
ni=0i=n(n+1)2
So I decided to take the limit:
limnn(n+1)2
but that tends towards when I expected that to be 112!
Where did I got wrong? (the result is also confirmed by Wolfram Alpha)
