"-quote- Page Loss!"

Proof of this please?
Because people aren't going to skip out on a part of discussion just because they'd rather load a new webpage before reading for absolutely no loving reason.
I should've put more emphasis on the fact that a page only has 15 posts and that we usually have about-50-to-200 users active on the forum during the day. If all of those people were allowed to bring their post to the next page (dumbest thing I've ever heard), then pages and pages would be filled with 'dur pageloss read my post plzz!!!'

This notification here: that shows up in front of any topic that has posts you haven't seen yet, is actually a button. It will take you to the page where the oldest post you haven't seen is, and kindly scroll (may be inaccurate due to images) to the new post where you left off!
People do use it.

Except this is the exact button that causes "page loss".

I don't know how people manage that.

False.

Then take your own advice.
--- Quote from: Chrono on February 05, 2012, 10:49:10 PM ---The reason you're not getting a response is because either:
-No one cares.
-No one has an opinion on it.
-People are scrolling past it because they know they'll get an ignorant response if they try to argue it.

I generally go through the entire thread thoroughly and click on every quote that looks snipped or edited to make sure I know what refers to what, but that is because I get kinda OCD if I feel like there is content that I missed, and I have a feeling that isn't normal.
Can you provide proof otherwise? I see people posting things that clearly indicate they completely ignored the posts before them constantly, and it happens often enough that I do not think I really need to gather quotes.

This is quite true, but I did indicate

Also if you have something else to say and tag on the "pageloss"
