I dunno. Out of curiosity I scrolled way back through the Entertainment section. The [R.I.P. George Carlin](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/r-i-p-george-carlin/45324) thread from ten years ago is all very short posts, and you’d think something like that would prompt longer posts. If you compare [What (movies) are you watching? (2007)](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/what-movies-are-you-watching-2007/35465) with [What Movies Are You Watching —2018—](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/what-movies-are-you-watching-2018/166167), there don’t seem to be any obvious differences. Except that quote function in those older posts is f’ed up.
