Quote Pyramid Meaning?
3.0BRAINROT SCOREQuote Pyramid A forum post in which quotes sit inside quotes inside quotes, because each reply quotes the previous post together with everything it already quoted, so the reply grows into a long, hard-to-read stack.
Origin:A March 2005 AnandTech forum thread titled "Quote Pyramid Solution" describes the problem as someone quoting someone who quotes someone, until every other post is two pages long, and proposes that the quote button strip earlier quotes; replies suggest collapsible quotes or threaded replies instead. A search also showed other forum discussions, for example about phpBB's maximum nested quotes setting, but only the AnandTech thread was opened. No coiner or first use is documented, so the entry is weak.
