Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

When you quote someone, do you post above their post or below it? Ever since they started automatically putting the spaces at top I've been posting above the person I quoted. What about you Community?

I post below the quote. It makes it easier to see what I'm replying to, as you can read the original post, then my response to it.

This is where I go to burn off some steam from all that repressed anger I have. If I insulted you on b.net, don't take it literally.

Usually i put the quote on top

Quote first.

I always put the quote above what I say so that people can have context before they start reading. Screw Achronos and his crazy way of quoting that he tries to force upon us :)

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

I'm just too lazy to write underneath the quote. Easier when I write on top of the quote.

I quote two at the same time and get in between both of them.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

I prefer to be on top.

I post it above, that way when I'm looking through my recent posts I see my posts not theirs.

Top. It's just quicker and in my opinion looks nicer.

RIP Halo 2

I type under the quote because that was always the easiest to do it. People always tend to copy the mods, though.

Legit people quote on bottom, makes it easier to search your posts later. Quoting first makes the search results difficult to use.

This is how I quote. Achronos wants us to use his (weird, irritating) way to quote, and it drives me insane.

I want to have context before I hear what the reply is. It's not like scrolling the extra distance makes any difference, it's what I'm doing already!

Not often, but it does remind me of this.

It's not too bad when it's just one reply, though. When do you ever see an entire conversation that's backwards?
Posted by: xLAS3RP01NT3Rx
Sure, easier for you, but not easier for us to read!

Quote first. The other way just doesn't make sense. You're going to make me read a post without context, then expect me to remember every out-of-context part of it after you give me its context? So I have to read it twice? That's dumb!

Agreed. You always have to go backwards with the post first, quote later in trying to see any relevance to what the poster is answering to.
In some cases you have to read down through 5 quoted posts then scroll back to the top of that post to see what the hell he's saying.
Completely unnecessary waste of time.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

I lie being on the bottom. Not that much work to do.

The guys who are saying we're 'copying the mods' or 'copying Achronos' are dolts. I'm sure if you open your mind a little and drop these seemingly indefinitely dialed-in rules you have about reading text, you'll see how reading bottom to top is essentially the same exact thing, and it gets tons easier when you're reading through pyramids because you can actually see who is saying what, it's not just a bunch of names piled up at the top like some sort of Friday night hanky-panky with the spanky.

If it's down here, then I tend to delete the space first.

I work for the Department of Defense.

The only people who topquote are just wannabe's who got it from Achronos. (Or from someone who did, or from someone else, etc)

This is one of those forever truth's that no matter what anyone says will never change.

"Oh, people who put their reply first are just copying Achronos".

I thought the only people who cared about 'copying' others were kindergarten students.
