Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

I dont know about everyone else but one of my pet peeves is having to scroll through some Egyptian like quote pyramid. I was just wondering if there was a simple solution to this. For example my idea was to put a limit on the number of quotes that could be stacked. Like you could only quote 3 times in one post. Or putting a limit on the size of the post.

Quote pyramids are a Bungie tradition. A blacklistable tradition, but tradition nonetheless.

Proof there is a God.
My RT account page.
My Grifball user page.
So if you really want to get to know me, you're welcome to add me anywhere.

The best way is if everyone just decides to edit the previous post down to just the sentence/paragraph of what they wanted to quote.

It's mostly just laziness, they don't want to edit something, so they just click "quote" and move on.

I think a character limit inside the quote would be in order.

I find it funny that a lot of people have no idea what a quote pyramid is.

Surrender? I've never heard of such. Defeat? Not a possibility! Why...why I will fight and fight and fight, until I am victorious, or I am dead? Because that is who I am, and that is why I fight; everyone will see that, when I am proclaimed greatest among men.

But it's kind of hard to not accidentaly erase some of the markup text, which "unquotifies" it.

You could be a kind soul and lock it to remove the temptation, but nooooooo, lets dangle it in front of the weak-willed masses.

They're actually not nearly as annoying anymore. Before they went 'sideways' a bit so they stretched outside the forum boundaries, making this 3D effect, making them much more irritating... Now they just stack all centered-like.

twinkie's right, and i beat the temptation


O YEAH!

Oh they still stretch outside the forum boundaries. They are just as annoying/hilarious as ever.
