Quote on top is the only one that makes sense. People who quote on bottom are just copying Acky.

There's no legitimate argument for it.

Clicking the quote button before or after entering the text of your post doesn't make it easier/faster.

I think Achronos would say otherwise.
Do you think he thinks of forum posting as emailing each other?

  • 02.20.2012 9:17 PM PDT

Sure it does.

How so?

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

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Always over, unless I'm threatened with a ban to post under, which has happened (in private groups).

I think it just looks better. Besides, I always know exactly which post is mine, because most people don't post above.

  • 02.20.2012 9:29 PM PDT

I quote and post below because its the only way that makes it actually readable.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

I do it both ways

I wouldn't say so, but I know he, without a doubt, prefers to post on the top of quotes.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

As much as I look up to some of the cool dudes that like to post their reply above a quote, I find it considerably easier to understand something with the context.

Furthermore, I've come to accept that certain users lend unfounded weight to my post simply because of my hat, regardless of the validity. Thus, I think it's most appropriate for the users to hear the other individual first, lest they make up their minds before seeing what I've replied to.

Usually under, but sometimes above if I wanna be classy.


There is no euphemism there I swear.


I to do this, but it's not to be classy.
I just wanna mix it up a little.

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.

Like a boss.

I don't ever quote other people, they don't deserve to get airtime on my posts.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

If I'm quoting a quote that quoted above the quote, I quote above the quoted quote.

But seriously, if I'm quoting somebody who quotes like

I type beneath like quote, like done here.

But what annoys me most is when people are conversing and are constantly alternating between above quoting and below quoting. It makes it very difficult to read, and looks out right messy.
