when people reply to a post and put their comment ON TOP of the post(s) they are replying to...how in the hell does that make ANY sense at all?!?!?! i read you reply, and then have no idea ####### you are talking about, so now i have to scroll down and read the post(s) you are replying to...THEN i need to scroll back up again to read your reply once more, because after taking the time to read the other post(s), i have now forgotten what the hell your reply was :sigh:

And also when there is a loooooooooong post (the only thing written on the page) and they hit reply to this post instead of just hit reply and then it repeats all over again and then at the end there is their short "Congrats"

i agree about the getting lost thing, even though i dont really know it first hand...i grew up here and have been taking the train alone since i was 11 (yea, we truly are badasses here in bk)...i definitely have had the experience of getting lost on the bus however...the trains are much easier for me, i dont know why...when i was a kid (about 10 or so), i took the bus for the first time all alone and when i got to where my school was, i didnt want to cross the street, and i naively thought that the bus would go down a few blocks, make a u-turn, and then drop me directly in front of my school (on the correct side of the street)...wow silly little kid...i waited about 10 minutes before i asked the old lady next to me, and she said that i better get off now lol i walked about a mile back to school, and never made that mistake again!!! that wasnt the last time i got lost, but it definitely left an impression

See but that's exactly what I mean! You never did it again after making that mistake. So Adriano is going to have to get lost. As will Scott, once he's here, though at least he doesn't have to deal with learning English too. That must make everything harder.

Omg It´s unbelievable Did you propose to her yet?

I did. A few pages back.

yes, you did... I told Dave about that, and he snorted and said 'wasn't that a bit presumptuous of him?!'

So basically, any kind of meetup in the future is gonna be awk-waaaard.

well, make mine 'muuuuuuuummmmm!' and you might get closer to the truth

plus it might be weird to live in a house with a line painted down the middle

That would be so awesome. "And I'd like you to meet my wife, who is also my evil twin sister. You can shake her hand but you'll need to apply for a visitor's visa to StillThePrettiestvania first."

sounds like the K-1 forum

LMAO!

you know what really grinds my gears????

Y'know...back in the early days of the internet (*waves cane around*) it was considered bad form to post your reply at the bottom of a quote. The reason being is that if you were keeping up on the conversation, you really only needed to see the most recent reply. For anyone trying to catch up, they just had to scroll down for as many quotes as they'd missed.

If you think about it, the way we do it now is counter-intuitive. In long lists of quotes you're always scrolling to the bottom. Which leads to calls for people to please trim their quotes, etc.

*gasps*

So lenient!! Now come on - where's the real StP?!?!?!?

ut-upshay! ut-upshay!

I hate that too!

And your Susie, about people putting their reply about the quote.

That was the early old days of the internet when only 3 people had internet in town so there couldn´t have been that many different posters posting different stuff and there was no way you were going to get lost in the convo

[StillThePrettiest 3]

well, but regardless, how many people are quoting because they're lost in the convo? face it: 90% of them are quoting because they're i) lazy and/or ii) ignorant of basic web skills

You'd be surprised. The early days of the internet saw some of the most epic threads EVAR. Granted, the flames and controversies typically revolved around what flavor of UNIX was best and "Brooke Shields: Would/Wouldn't" but there actually were some pretty big discussion groups. I sorta missed the old internet. We didn't have Google or YouTube, but we had Gopher and ASCII pr0n. Life was so much simpler back then.

well like moxes reply to 5 different people backwards wouldnt make much sense without the quotes

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

life stopped being simple waaaaay before that

[mox 298]

Yeah, I've just kinda resigned myself now. If I had it my way, quotes would look like:
