Only one thing sucks more than pagination: a very long article, you accidentally scroll and forget which section you are reading. Pagination is better than no navigation, this is why Google Image Search is weird to navigate. The absence of proper pagination may be even the reason Google Wave has found no friends beyond its believers. Pagination sucks when text length per page is too short and even more when 50% of the content consists of advertisements. I avoid such websites.
