In other forums, one can have up to 40 posts displayed per page in a topic. I love having that many of posts, or more if possible.

Would it be possible to have it so that is an option? I hate having just 10 posts a page.

It's to ensure that more intelligent posts are put up, due to the fact that some people would post 100 times a day and put less than 6 letters in most of the posts.

You don't get what I'm trying to get. I'm fine with the post per hour limit. I'm sick of having to click through all the pages to read a topic.

I like the idea(I prefer it, really), but as it currently is... signatures all over the place, I think 15 posts per page is enough. I can't imagine loading 40 posts with large, ugly, annoying signatures in them. Maybe upping it to 25 or so, but 40 or more? No, that's too much.
Stupid signatures.

It wouldn't be a manditory, just optional. I can load 40+ siggies easily on a site that uses them WAY more than this place does.

We need to get rid of signatures. They're gay and pointless.

I suggest we make Apollo an admin. He is obviously a brilliant man.

Maybe just no pictures in signatures? because those text-only things are actually alright, its the picture siggies that annoy me.

What's wrong with picture siggies as long as they don't exceed a certain size?

They're ugly and I don't feel like seeing them. They take time to load. What size limit? Let's pretend, for a second, that everyone had a signature and avatar... at currently 15 posts for page, you'd have to load about an extra .5mb or so per page, at least. Screw that. They just get in the way. What use do they serve? None. None at all. We see your username. We don't need to see it again in your signature in an ugly picture. If it doesn't add to your post, why is it there? On every other forum I visit, either there are no signatures and avatars, or they're disabled. I'd like either.

Wow. .5mb. That's such an ordeal. I like siggies 'cause I don't have to look at people's usernames.

That adds up to a lot of bandwidth when it gets viewed a few thousand times.

Actually, it is when someone's connection is slow. My connection is terribly slow sometimes, and loading that much takes forever.

Well, ignoring avatars, the images are stored off the website, so it probably amounts to nothing. Still, avatars can take up a lot of bandwidth, in my opinion. Those range from 1-20kb, and higher. Sure, it doesn't seem like alot, but loaded over, and over, and over again? Also, 1-20kb is as much as a lot of signatures.
I'm a big fan of not having avatars or signatures.
Anyways, maybe we should get back to the topic at hand - changing the number of posts per page. I still think it's a good idea, ignoring the signatures and avatars.
Edit: Actually, a better idea, rather than disabling signatures, just make it so all images have to be linked to. You know, just disable [img] tags.
