Poll: Thread Size and Content

SanfamSanfam I like clocks.

Ok, here we go!
What would you think about more posts per page in threads? Right now, we're at 40, but I'm thinking about boosting it up to 60 or higher. Another consideration was raising the minimum reply count from 25 to 35 in order for a thread to burst into flames. How would that seem?
Please make any comments and state any adjustments you'd like to see. Right now, the flaming threads show very little, other than the fact that every thread becomes that. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    The post count per page is fine as it is IMO. As for the "hot" threads...yeah, 25 - 35 sounds good to me.

    I agree with Verti there also...

    It's bad enough trying to load a thread now, especially when it has inline images...

    But the burst count could stand a bit more beef for the BBQ...

    Ditto. Not all of us are blessed with broadband or decent dial-up connections (mine absolutely sucks [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img] ), so changing the post count wouldn't be such a hot idea. Changing the "flaming threads" sounds like a good idea, though (especially since some of the forums are starting to look more like the aftermath of an arsonist's convention [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]).

    To be perfectly honest, I don't really care. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] You guys can do whatever you want, just so long as it doesn't stop me from posting.

    Whatever makes things easier for everyone really... and yes we must not forget that many users haven't the luxury of fast net access like myself, and Biggles Super Speed 56k Double Twin Turbo Injection 24 Valve V 12 Modem.

    Thread size the same. It's just right at the moment. But boost the flame size up to 35.

    Yeah i like both ideas!! even though im running a 56k it dosent bother me to wait an extra 15 seconds!!
  • Dune MasterDune Master Earthforce Officer
    I vote that you boost the post per page to 100. (My cable modem and I won't mind a bit ;-) Also, I think that a flaming topic should be at least 35 posts.
