AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around preferences for post length in forum threads, with a strong inclination towards concise replies. Many participants express a belief that shorter, more direct responses enhance readability, especially in humorous contexts. However, some argue that longer replies can be necessary for clarity, particularly on complex topics. The quality of the writing, including organization and grammar, is emphasized as more important than length itself. There is a playful exchange about the implications of long posts on server space and the nature of public forums, with some participants humorously debating historical events and pop culture references. Overall, the conversation highlights a divide between those who favor brevity and those who appreciate detailed discourse, while also touching on the importance of presentation in communication.

I would like to bannish long posts to the depths of hell.

This thread should have never ended... Those were the days...

What ever happened to all those guys? Is Robin Parsons still a homeless bum? Is eNtRopY still an *******? Are Andy and cmdr_sponge still together? Did Mentat ever grow any older, or is he doomed to be a middle schooler forever because he's trapped in some kind of Peanuts/Simpsons time warp?

Wow, lots of old names. The thread is too outdated though.
