200 page user here. I prefer it because I often lose track of something I want to quote in long threads and can search 4 200 post pages much quicker than 16 50 post pages. I also like it because I use dial-up occasionally and if I need to refer to something said earlier or I need to get offline, I can load a long thread and keep reading offline. ---

Mine has been set at 200 since **What Exit?** told me it was possible to do so. ---

I’ve known about the option for a long time, but I think 50 is a good number. No idea why. Used to it I guess. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-poll-how-many-posts-per-page-do-you-use/479741.md?page=1)
