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

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


Apparently not.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

I like to alte ate between to piss off people with my inconsistency.

It's just easier to be at the bottom. (Lol). You can read the quote, and then read the reply, you're in the know from the start.

Why don't you just give me ONE SECOND!

I always do it at the bottom.

It's old school style.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

No, I just do it because it's easier.

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.

Why do you let your women decide where you post?

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?
Here is your answer.

Bottom, it just makes sense that way. Achronos is the only one I've seen have his reply before the quote and everyone started to copy him.

Yep, putting it on top disobeys logic and reasoning. If you don't go on the bottom, then I have no respect for you.

Again, is it easier to read a conversation backwards?

It shouldn't matter...I can read blocks of text down, up, left, right, diagonally, and inside out and get the same context. I don't see why anyone else can't, it's not mentally impossible.

I've always been a fan of the bottom.


It just feels... right.

  • 08.14.2011 2:42 PM PDT

I definitely put their quote above my post. I prefer getting the context of the reply first. I do love deleting the extra spaces and making a quote fit snuggly inside my reply though!

I don't like how Achronos seems to want us to all quote in his backwards way! I bet the toilets even flush the opposite way at Bungie!

But why veer against the the natural way in which we read? Why go bottom to top when it is more visually pleasing to read top to bottom. You're reading posts top to bottom. Why not read them in order FROM top to bottom?

I quote on the bottom. I also get rid of the space on the top.

  • 08.14.2011 2:53 PM PDT

Both, occasionally top.

  • 08.14.2011 2:54 PM PDT

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

Bottom

I post under the quote. It seems logical considering people will read what I am replying to before my actual reply.


This is how I feel. It makes sense in a structural conversation for me that way.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

Quote first. In real life I also tend to let people speak before answering them.

I was looking for a good metaphor, but you got it first. >=/

But it's true, do you answer a question before you hear it? It doesn't make sense to put your reply above a quote, because there is then no context to base your quote off of.
