I use it this way because it's quicker (well, because I'm used to it)

I LOVE HALO! Better than any other game.

But I love Halo 3 and Combat Evolved - never got the chance to play Halo 2 :(

I quote in the way which I feel is most appropriate to use, given the circumstances. If I am replying to a post, I reply underneath the quote, as the quote provides the context for my reply. If, however, I am using a post as an example to illustrate my point, then I may reply before the quote, as I am supplying the context for the quote.

E.g.

My reply to the above quote.

Things look better when they go in chronological order.

It varies, I know some people prefer above or below - so I choose at random.

Here's the problem, though; when you click 'quote' there's actually room for your reply at the top. By showing the quote beforehand, people understand the situation and then read what the reply has to say as a result of the quote.
It's like this;
1. quote first, then reply:
"He said that - ah I see, then they replied with that."
2. reply first, then quote:
"Why has he said that? Oh, that's why."
