1 minute is WAYYY too long

Gk1986 · November 16th, 2001

Is there any way to change the waiting time in between messages down from one minute to thirty or twenty seconds? Cos I'm here only for a few hours a day, and I have to wait in between posts to post. or something like that

. So is it possible? Please let me know. Thanks.

ahhh.... NO! ..

If you didn't post every 1.2 seconds, it wouldn't be a problem.

uhhh, what?

BTW Ryos, just noticed that maybe this would be better off in the suggestions forum. Can you move it there please?

**Shiori** · November 16th, 2001

where's the fire, Gk?

why are you so in a rush to post anyway? :confused:

**Ryos** · November 16th, 2001

It does belong in the suggestion forum. Moving.

I'm only here for two hours, and I want to make good use of my time.

Thanks, d00dette

One important thing about the 60 second delay is that, in theory, it forces people to READ posts BEFORE responding to them.

I do. I think it's also to prevent double-posting, but the time could be cut short a bit.

**Xeven** · November 16th, 2001

how much time can you cut from 60 seconds? :wink: one?

I really hope it can go down to 30. Wormie's site had 15 seconds, which was great. Most of the other forums that I've been to had times that ranged from 30 seconds and down. It's just a suggestion, though.

**Prafull** · November 16th, 2001

Simple mathematics.
If that time limit was already cut down from 60 to 30 seconds Gk post count would have been doubled and crossed 4000 mark.

In short Prafull's Law of Gk's post count---

"Gk's post count is inversely proportional to waiting time and directly proportional to his online time".

I guess it's a law since you can see the experimental results anytime

I hope the waiting time can be cut down to 30 mins or so. I always waste about 1 hour or more just to post few screenshots .....

**Xeven** · November 16th, 2001

Nightmare waiting time at 30 minutes? man that's too much!

I did quite alot of typing mistakes recently,look at my pic, i am an old guy now ... started to lose memory... :eek:

ToM_E · November 16th, 2001

I agree with Gk1986. When I want to upload screen shots and I take lot of them. I only get to post few cause Im only here 2 hours a day 2. Or sometimes maybe more when Im not doing my homework.

Well I don't really have a problem with it. Being stuck on a 56K connection it takes more than a minute for the old submit reload check reply cycle.

Then again I suppose it does give us 56k'ers a fighting chance dunnit?
