i hate waiting on pages to load, more per page means less pages to go through.

Uh, it's the same amount of data either way. If you put more on a page, you'll have to wait longer for each individual page load.

Uh, actually, if you are interested in, uh, say, uh, the first 75 threads, it's actually less data transmitted if you had 75 threads per page than if you had 50+50/2 pages, uh, I think.

Did I sound too much like a know-it-all prick there?

too bad that number isnt as concrete as you'd like. it isnt really a problem for anywhere but chit chat either and even then if you are that far behind you might as well not post.

^^Oh cool. An extremely specific case to rebut a very general point. Stop post-stalking me, faggot.

less data is transmitted now - b/c the majority of people only look at the last 50 threads - a much smaller percentage looks at threads past that on a normal basis - you are an idiot to think otherwise

You could also modify the script that only x threads are shown instead. This could actually be used to decrease the amount of data sent if x was 10 or 20.

So you're saying this can't be done and isn't a good idea. I was thinking this could be like a preference thing, like google results per page.

if anything it would be made less to cut down on traffic - especially in places like feedback forums and study hall
