Full PM-box? Change here!

I assume the database table was corrupt and lost as a part of the general system failure. However hopefully it can be fixed with a backup and some work.

We can all provide lots of new (read: non-Star Trek) quotes to replace the lost ones can't we.

Markos will most likely reinstall the quotes database using the standard quotes (read: many star trek quotes, nil civ quotes) and then perhaps re-add the civ style quotes. I highly doubt he will save the quotes database from the old server, but suprises may just happen.

The one about "Gays are demon-offspring". It's hilarious.

Thats not too bad then. As we have the original thread as well as a new one, we should be able to get all the original added quotes and many new good ones.

Mine of course

No, really, since Mark posted in it saying the proper format, he's definitely reading it...

But remember - Red Dwarf quotes enmasse are just as bad as Star Trek ones.

And they don't pretend to be deeply wise.

Still the best ones should be selected, so not too many are used.

Nah, the more the merrier. Even the best quotes get boring after seeing them enough times. Variety is the spice of life.
