Joining the multitude of others who've de-lurked to say: This sucks ass.
How do you propose to remove something critical like pages, which everyone understands and is adept at navigating?
"Hmm yes let me remember arbitrary seven-digit numbers and how they correspond to a given date, this is infinitely better than going to page 30 and picking up where I left off." Gtfo with that. There's a reason any archive worth a damn organizes things into pages, and it's called basic UX.
What's next, infinite scrolling? Fuck's sake.

"It's gone as the index has grown to a size where it's not computationally feasible to have it anymore."
Maybe it wouldn't be so big if people weren't allowed to upload 4 page pixiv collection posts to farm for GP, amongst 20 different competing uploaders, filling the index with garbage. So they get to keep doing their thing while we lose page numbers. So glad I can't just quickskip 4 pages over to avoid "[PIXIV] this artist, post 1" , "[PIXIV] this artist, post 2", "[PIXIV] this artist, post 3", "[PIXIV] this artist, post 4", "[PIXIV FANBOX] this artist, post 1", "[PIXIV] this artist, full collection 2012-2017" "[PIXIV] this artist, full collection 2017-2018". How about doing something about that instead
Here's a good idea. Clean out some of the cruft, that'll cut down on index size.
