^Ahaaaaaaaaaaaa!

No. That was terrible. And kind of random, 'cause all he did was ask what we're going to do.

oh no i don't know about the chemical properties of money from another country, i must be ignorant on a cosmic level
Oh come on, I obviously meant ignorant about this particular topic, not ignorant in general *rolls eyes*. You're better than this.

plastic > paper just because, come @ me
Don't think anyone argued against you on that brah

I switched to 40 ppp because of ballin insulting those on 20 ppp, but I prefer 20 ppp... Too lazy to change back now.

And isn't this thread about specific players? I thought threads about people were not allowed.

I'm so glad I've had some impact on this forum :)

Seriously though there is no benefit to 20 over 40 ...

1) I think it's OK in this situation since the players are OK with it
2) WTF y u try to get thread closed?

It's a bad thread to be honest (especially since both players are kind of meh about this even happening). At least have it open a couple weeks before the tournament.

I switched when balling did that also, so you impacted me as well Ballin. That was a while ago though.. I think he was insulting infamousdiablo or kero iirc..

I changed due to Ballin' forever ago. And no you weren't insulting someone. You were just informing someone, and I was pleasantly lurking. True Story.

You weren't insulting anyone, that's why nobody listened to you.

does nobody go through the forum options on their own to maximize browsing efficiency?
I just don't see how it is beneficial for someone who often comes on the boards, you almost always need to scroll more (it's rare that the last page begins with a new post). Maybe I check smashboards too often (although I don't come as often as before).

And ballin, I'm joking, but I think you were kinda crude, that's why I exaggerated in saying you insulted people lol.

wait

you do realize that it is technically the same amount of scrolling, regardless of how many ppp you display, right? (assuming you intend on viewing the same number of posts in each case, i.e. clicking the "new post" button.)

it's just that you have to do stuff in between scrolling. you need to click "next" twice as much on 20ppp, which translates to double the unnecessary mouse movement, double the clicks, and most importantly, double the loading time!

loading double the forum posts is cheap and quick, but loading actual webpages takes much longer, relatively speaking

there is absolutely no benefit to anything less than 40ppp, unless you're on dial-up

Less clicks. Cmon meng lol

:phone:

If you don't use page up/down and home/end keys on your keyboard I pity thee. Don't need to scroll 100% of the time

I suspected this was the case after reading your post a couple times!

It's to the right of the giant red exclamation point, and directly to the left of the topic title, which is indented a little to make room for it (square box with a checkmark in it). It disappears when there are no new posts.

I used to do the same thing on another forum (click last post and scroll up to what appeared to be the newer posts) until I realized the painfully inefficient error of my ways.
