Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

What's the point of quoting below your post? It seems people do it just because Achronos does.

But doesn't Achronos use internet explorer? That should be a big reason not to follow him :P

Some people will type a response, then hit quote, causing it to be below. Some do it because there's not a gap above the quote when you do so at first.

Mleh.

But then you're reading the reply out of context first..

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

It's the format used for emailing, and some believe it's better than adding your reply below a quote.

Personally, I've always added my post after the quote and as I'm most familiar with doing it that way, I'll stick with it.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

IE 9 is pretty damn sweet. Of course I just surf vanilla b.net and have no need for all of the coup crap. As for the quoting I hit quote first thing. Since I do that my quotes are below my posts.

Yes, however "putting the quote below your post" is the same thing as putting your post above the quote.

Now selling HHDDVVDDBVDs. HD DVDs, but with better marketing.

I do it when I reply to a conversation, where I quote a post with multiple quotes within it. Sometimes I abbreviate the quote, but it has become a habit.

This. I started doing it after a Ninja (Foman or Duardo) pointed this out in a thread asking why Ninjas did it.
