How many threads per page do you want to see?

by **wicked** on Sat Feb 16, 2008 8:43 pm

So Twill temporarily cut the threads per page while we're dealing with server/database issues from 50 to 25. Twill is considering leaving it at 25 per page once the issues are fixed, but I personally think that's a bad idea due to unnecessary bumping and creating new threads instead of looking back a page or two. Some have also said "OMG! The users will be too daunted with 50!" which I think is total BS, since you guys are pretty smart. :wink:

Putting it back at 50 also makes a mod's job easier in several ways, so you can see why I'm for it. But Twill says f*ck the mods, let's do what the community wants, so here I am asking.... what do you guy think? Back to 50, which is what it's been forever, or keep it 25, which is what you've seen recently over the last week or so.

I liked it at 50.

Since it's just temporary, I don't mind the load of per page at 25 threads but I'm not a frequent contributor and therefore, doesn't affect me much.

I wonder who voted 25.

50 FTW! It's a lot better with 50, so all topics with new posts will be on the first page.

50. So much easier for IK and Forum Games.. and other forums.

by **rebelman** on Sat Feb 16, 2008 9:54 pm

50 is far better

by **wicked** on Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:15 pm

AFAIK, the only people holding out for 25 are the mappers, who seem to think it'll draw more people in if they don't see 50 threads per page. huh??

by **fireedud** on Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:22 pm

AFAIK?

Anyways, I don't see how the 25 threads matters in the Map FOundary, all the active maps are on top anyway.

As far as I know.... :wink:

You'd know best being the forum whore.... i mean dominatrix....... Well maybe a little of both :wink:

Well I'd like to think I have my finger on the pulse of the community. If not, I'm sure you guys will tell me. :wink:

the only ones who might perfer 25 are those on dialup

is it possible to do the 25 in the foundry, but 50 everywhere else?

by **wicked** on Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:06 pm

nope, need the same for uniformity throughout the site. Mappers haven't really given a good reason IMO to keep it 25, and they're a small part of the overall forum anyway.

by **Night Strike** on Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:45 pm

The Ongoing Tournaments sub-forum REALLY needs 50. Some tournaments would get to the second page after just a day or so even with the 50. 25. is just annoying. Same with the Generation One clan forum. I had to look for a moderately popular thread all the way on the second page today.

I vote for 50.

by **oVo** on Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:53 pm

Like OMFG! Can you even imagine the living hell of being stuck on page two ?

I voted 25... clicking next page is no big deal.

Also, it's the most unimportant forum, so they don't really count...

by **lord voldemort** on Sun Feb 17, 2008 9:40 am

lol
50 ftw. makes it easier on forums like ik and forum games that have 50 ish active threads....can stop some un needed bumping

by **AAFitz** on Sun Feb 17, 2008 10:27 am

My life would be much simpler if I could not see any of them.

Im not sure the number matters as much, as the possible ability to jump to a page number in the middle easier... though, there may be a way to do this, that I dont know about...

does this include the OVER ONE DOZEN bumps you gave pinkyandthebrain permission to do or is that considered ok, since a mod gave it the go ahead.... ahhhh, wait, i forgot, that isn't any of my business... damn... anyway, i roll with twill. one of the few mods with a good head on his shoulders that i respect, and appreciate his well worded reasons for his decisions... nothing like having a mature conversation with another adult about an issue on the site.-0

Also, where is the "One fucking hundred motherfucking threads all up on one whole mammoth page because super fucking size is there this big old B is fucking at. Word" option?

That seems like the obvious third choice...
[size=0]Yes yes, for people who can't read past the obscenities (which are required in order to demonstrate how [fucking] awesome the idea is) I'm asking for a 100 or even 1000 threads per page option.[/size]
