This is very deep and may require some serious research:

Why not 20, 25 or 50.... Why does rivals set 40 as the magic number of posts per page?

High enough that dumb threads don't make a 2nd page, yet low enough to make good threads have multiple pages... because dumb threads never make it past 3 pages o_O

50 messages would lag constantly if the thread had multiple gifs. 40 might be all the website can handle!

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Obviously the egg came first if you are one of those that believe dinosaurs ever existed...

I tell ya sonny, I remember the days of 50 posts per page. We walked up hill to school both ways. Rivals crashes on national signing day were as true as the sun. Yep boy, the good ole days, back when men were men and sheep were nervous.

That may be as good a post that anyone besides me has started in a while.....

I'll bet Iowa's only goes to 20, because then they die from lack of interest....

Oh no I didn't!!!!:)
