Number of Posts per Page

[Bulet]

Going trough 30(ish) posts per page isn't bad in places like Random thread but going trough 30(ish) posts in Main Arena threads, where every post has a long(ish) pic takes a while and frankly i dont want to be spending more than 3 seconds of my valuable time on scrolling

I don't know if you people have the same opinion, but reducing the posts per page in Main Arena (And I guess Grudge Matches) would be cool. i rly dont like 2 scrol

I'm on bandwidth, that means that at the end of the month, my internet is slower than shit, so if the post count was reduced, I'd be able to participate in stuff 24/7. So it's not just a question of laziness

That's not how bandwidth works. You're more likely thinking of a data cap. Bandwidth is the amount of data being transferred at a time. And with the data cap, you're still loading xKB/MB of data. You'll still reach your data cap just as quickly. Hell, you may even reach it faster with fewer posts per page because you have to transfer similar data (headers, footers, css pages, etc.) multiple times per thread. There's going to be a fine balance to find between the page length, the page's digital size, etc.,.

How is it harder to scroll than it is to go to the next page? If anything, it'd make it worse to lower the post count because you have to click on that little tiny arrow at the bottom of the page more often, if we're talking about minor inconveniences.
