Really, I can not think of a logical reason to use 20/20 other than inertia.

Why must you all deny reason and try to cloak yourselves in the "this always worked before thus it is the true way" reasoning that you all deny in other circumstances? If a politician or judge did it, you'd criticize them for being entrenched in the past and unable to adapt, yet you are just like them, except on a far, far more important level.

EMBRACE THE FUTURE.

We're not still in the 56k days, so I don't see the 'you have to click more' argument being valid. For serial topics like the wrestling topic or CS&D it's way easier to pick back up where you left off with 10 PPP tbqhhhhhh. Who is reading 50 posts at a time anyway?

It's not that it takes more time to load. It's just more effort. I can scroll pages with a press of an arrow/pg down. It's more efficient. Moving to a new page every time is more effort.

And really is it that hard for people to pick up where they left off in serial topics? That sounds like an excuse people are making up without having tried it. If you know what page you're on, is it that hard to figure out where you were with 50 posts? Plus, if you DON'T know what page you were on, you'll have to click more pages to find it. That all sounds like faulty circular argument reasoning that people make up to LIE to themselves. ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE REDEEMED.

50 posts
20 topics

More topics just makes me more likely to be tempted to read older stuff which I'd rather not do. It's also nice because you can get all the topics on one screen (and if you're using the right skin you don't even need to scroll). 10 topics is just too barren though, obviously.

In what way is it easier to find specific posts? I grant that it is easier (though negligibly so) to find posts on a shorter page, but you have more pages to search. Which means more clicks.

EFFICIENCY IS GOD.

lol

it's generally not much tougher to remember pairs (nor is it tough to go through 50 posts as you're just gonna scroll since post topography is kinda recognizable)

"Middle of page 9" or "Page 43" are about as easy to remember, and will have you going through about the same amount of posts to find it.

Further there's a greater margin of error on 50 per page because if you say "middle of page 9" and you're wrong it's probably still gonna be on page 9 so you'll probably see it while scrolling. Whereas with page 43, it could be on page 41, 42, 44, 45. Lots of clicking.

By "post topography" I mean what the posts actually look like and what the posts around them look like. For instance, I'm able to almost instantly scroll to my first post in this topic because it looks something like this:

|||||||||||||
||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

And it has a wall of quotes above it.

Whereas with clicking I lose the ability to navigate based on what posts in the topic look like and have to strictly remember which number the page is.

clicking just takes more work. you gotta aim your mouse and click, then wait for the page to load


with 50PPP you've got 5 times as much posts all on one page so you can relax and just press page down when you need

It's all about hotkeys.

Page down is my preferred, minimal keystrokes to read through everything on a page.

I know you people do not want to achieve your full potential, and that you all intend to trudge through life doing far more work than you need to because you are resistent to change, but as a citizen of the world and, more importantly, THIS BOARD, I must in good faith beseech you to accept the advantages that technology has granted us. It is my duty to spread 50/50s love so that you may not be doomed to a hellish existence purely because you were uninformed. And if you read this and deny it... well, may 50/50 have mercy upon your soul.

You can at least ballpark the post, anyway. Like I said I'll usually remember "the middle of page 2" or "around post 70" and then you can pretty much just insta-scroll to the approximate location.

Except when it comes to remembering, you would easily know if you left at page 30 or if you left at page 130. All you need to remember is 2 digits - that pattern is the same whether you're remembering 17 or 94.

Couple it in with pages as well, like if you're on page 9, you know it's between posts 400-450

For years I've stuck with 20/20. And it has been a problem at times.... I never bothered to change it, though. I haven't even clicked on message board settings for a year.

But NOW.... I've set the posts per topic to 50. 50 topics on a page, though? Too hard on my eyes.
