I was a finalist :P

Wait, is it because it is too long? or not long enough?

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Like a 3 or 4 quote box limit when replying? I like it. I always keep it below 3.

Agreed. I hate seeing a lot of quote boxes. I've already read the conversation, I don't need to read it again.

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

It just gets annoying when people quote a huge convo on purpose. Other than that, I'm perfectly fine with it.

I don't find the quote limit nearly as annoying as scrolling past the same conversation repeated over and over again in ten people's posts.

I do think a nice little button or built-in feature that removed the innermost quotes until only the last 5 outermost ones remain would be kinda snazzy, though.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

too many quotes in one post is annoying though. :/

This. Especially when half of a quote box is blank space.

Imagine how unnecessarily long a page would be and how many times you would reread the same thing.

I like it. Just quote the users main text, not the five other quotes.

I'd rather they fixed that staggeringly irritating blank line that inserts itself before every quote before they start fiddling with nested quote limits.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

This, and I think it would be nice if the button to quote only quoted the poster's words and not the other quotes in his post. I have seen in implemented on another forum. It seems to work well.

This thing wasn't even here until some random site update left it accidentally. Goddamn stupid as hell.

highlight + delete = common sense

  • 09.09.2011 9:59 AM PDT

I don't see a problem, there is never a need to quote more than the last 2 posts of the conversation anyway.

Like when people do a "quote combo"? I totally agree.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

It's to avoid spam. I suggest copying and pasting the quotes instead of using the bars.
