Quote of the Moment Archive

This is an archive of the various QotM the forum has had over the years, that I started maintaining in July 2012.

The QotM is a short text acting as the forums banner for until it is replaced, and normally consists of something witty or humorous.

The list is most conclusive for those since I joined (I.e. 2012), though I have tried to work in those that we have a record of from earlier then that point.

"Hi, I just started a new D3 Guild called "The Irrelevant Vigilantes of Vaporware."
Our goal is to form a powerful guild, have a leadership struggle, and splinter into a bunch of sub-guilds of one member each with out-of-date web pages--all before D3 goes into development.
After that, we'll be real busy working on the Y3k issue.

These are the ones I remember (I'm new so can't remember far back)
If anyone would like to backtrack further I will add to this any links, dates, quotes supplied. Also there was some question about the population growth being private so I will edit out if there are any objections.

If no-one else cares about this I will still update (at least as long as I am active here) as it interests me.

I care, I'd love to see a complete archive. We only need to go back so far since I think a quote or two had a nice long multi-year run smile

I don't plan on extracting the ones in the link KoP provided as that was ages ago (early 2002s), but if people can find/remember then we can go back as far as possible. Would there be an actual function that would allow us to see previous installments? (in the code or something? I have no technical skill so not an offer but would be awesome if it worked)

We had a fake ad which took you to the QotM thread (http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4511) for a while. That replaced the one from Sirian that I can't remember but that was there for years ... I think the ad must've gone up Feb 21st 2011 given the timestamps on posts in that thread.

The next one was part of Jkaen's post here: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showpost....stcount=41 in the QotM thread, so date of May 2nd 2011. I think the bit that was used was: I just realised that even the quote contains spoilers, so anybody who shouldnt read that forget you saw it! - Jkaen

There might've been one (or more) inbetween here ... there's some discussion in the QotM thread, but I don't remember any of the suggestions being used.

I think the next one was the novice one you remember, it's from here: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showpost....tcount=235 Date of going up must be between March 11 2012 and March 14 2012. The actual line is: I'm afraid civ has never been about getting the girl... - novice

Date on the pop growth one is Apr 30th 2012.

I thought we'd had more, but I'm not sure I remember any I haven't just found frown

The sirian quote was about Diablo III and vaporware, wasn't it?
Reply

It was something along the lines of "I just created a new Diablo III guild called the irrelevant guardians of vaporware". Not exactly this, but somewhat similar.

Wasn't there another Jkaen quote about him "having lost the track of the paquiderms"? It was from a WW game, but I can't remember if it actually went into the QotM.
