Important notice to all you new-to-the-Dope players. I use Spivak pronouns which are gender neutral – e, em, eir. It helps me cut down on the gender confusion. It also increases everybody else’s confusion as they ask WTF I’m talking about. I warned em. ---

> [@Drain\_Bead](#): > > Eastern time, internal genitalia. don’t believe you. only visual confirmation can confirm such outlandish assertions. maybe like a copy of the nyt or something like that. or maybe a picture of times square. maybe the grand banks at sunset. tappng into a maple for the syrup would be sufficient. or just a drive through upstate new york. maybe even a snapshot of mickey. of course a pitcture of your tatas would work as well. ---

If you’ll cast your eye back up to post #326 you’ll see that Gadarene has decided to plan for a game thread sometime tomorrow. ---

So here’s a silly question what’s the default posts/page? I changed mine to the max - I think it’s 200. So, I’m only on page two. I think I’ll change it back though. I don’t want to have to do the math every time someone refers to a post made back on a certain page. ---

I don’t want to have to do the math every time someone refers to a post made back on a certain page. I always keep mine at 200, and backwards so the most recent are on top (so I’m always on page 1). People usually refer to post numbers, so I seldom have problems with that. ---

True. And they usually have a quote with a link regardless. I set mine back to the default though - I was finally observant enough to notice the “forum default” option! I may change it back - not sure which I like better. ---
