Why is it cool to have lots of posts on a page?

PardonTheWait · 5 Oct 2012 at 01:50

Serious question. Over the years on these boards I've seen many exchanges like this, normally accompanied by that most aggravating of emoticons, the winky face.

4 pages

I would like this explained. I'd like to know what is so super rad about changing an option in the preferences, and why I am an inferior human with a sub-par intellect for not doing so.

I would also like to know how much sex the people who feel the need to gloat about this are getting, but I fear that's too much to ask.

Surely I can't be alone in thinking this has to be in the top ten of the crappest things in the world to be smug about?

Edit: Biohazard, I'm sorry, but... Well, I'm not really. You boast about some weird stuff and you just happened to be the last person I saw do it.

Because you don't have to change the page as often.

Its laziness.

Yes, I have 80ppp

80ppp is the man sized forum

Everything else is like puberty, small, awkward and for kids....

Rich_L · 5 Oct 2012 at 01:55

Like most cool things, if you have to ask, you aren't cool enough to understand.

:cool:

Put it this way - saying less than 80ppp is 'just fine' is like saying using an 800 x 600 CRT at 50hz is 'perfectly acceptable'

lol it's hardly a boast. It's more a hark back to an old joke on here with regards to member elitism which was at the point of infestation to be honest. I liked to pish all over it.

thanks for the flattery though.

:cool:

It really is much better with the maximum page length. Try it

Gah, it makes me so angry.

I do realise this is a personality defect on my part, but just look at it. Whenever someone uses that smiley I instantly picture them as a fat sweaty horrible rapey man with a combover and gapey shirt buttons who's trying to belittle me about something petty.

Personality defect, like I said.

I'm sure it's just splendid, and forums with really low PPP, like ten, are horrible to browse, but really I leave it as it is because often when I browse forums I'm not logged in so there's little point. When it's really low I'll log in just because it's painful to read otherwise.

Cool, I didn't even know you could do that.

Don't you just want to punch my face right in?

Like... right in?

Tbf OP you sell Apple products for a living so I can see why the concept of customisation might get you a little angsty

Oh snnnaap...

FFS Rich I can't even come back from that, why would you do that to me

Castiel · 5 Oct 2012 at 02:02

nah!, I'm glad you bought it up...I honestly did not know, I just though everyone was being a dick about their screen size or something.

Not sure if I like so many posts on a page yet though, might take some getting used to.

I just noticed this part.

I'd bet my flat and car a **** load more than you're ever going to get pal.

It's never too much to ask, I'll be as frank as you like me to be.

Uhtred · 5 Oct 2012 at 02:08

80 posts per page on my phone. Ohhh yeah. It's like, way more better.

So hang on, right this moment you're getting more sex than I will ever get ever?

So even if you're having a wicked awesome threesome RIGHT NOW, I only have to have sex with three girls in the rest of my life to get your car?

What car do you have? Do prostitutes count for me?

Edit: As a sidenote, some would argue that a man that was getting loads of minge all over his face all the time would entirely disregard that and make no comment at all. What do you make of that?

There should be an option to have a single infinite length page.

That would be like 9gag, and I always lose my place on 9gag

I can't really make or take too much from it, but it did make me laugh out loud (LOL) a fair bit?

Alas, I still think my prowess and herem will trample all over your wee parade if a comparison can be sought.
