Should the GMG get a Quote of the Month system?
« on: November 04, 2008, 06:38:56 PM »
What with all the hilarious randomness on the forum, I think the GMG should incorporate a Quote of the Month system. What say yee mutinous dogs?

Cool. Any ideas on where it would be displayed?

EDIT:

The Roguesoft QOTM is extremely simple: http://s11.invisionfree.com/Roguesoft I was gonna design a more graphically orientated display box, but if the GMG uses a QOTM system I'll probably just take it down.

Probably the forum homepage, or the general homepage (news). I say it should be quote of the week, considering the epic that is coming out of these forums.

Although if GMG does do a QOTM and Silverwind stop doing his QOTM we might lose the funny thing Silverwind comes up with.

Current Roguesoft Quote of the Month

Hey, I want to set those people on fire but they're too far away to do it..

Well, I suppose I could keep it, but most of the quotes are selected from the GMG anyway. Bah, who knows, maybe I will keep it.

By the way, the current QOTM wasn't by me, it was by DR Tom from the Namco SCIV forums. I like it. ;D

Doesn't that give credit to the original creator?

Yes but usually they aren't nearly as good as a chosen one.

Sorry, the way your post was worded led me to think that you thought I had written the quote myself:

Oh now that I look at it more closely I phrased it wrong I should of said

  Although if GMG does do a QOTM, Silverwind might stop doing his QOTM, and therefore we might lose the funny quotes Silverwind finds for us to laugh at.

I'll have to look at the YaBB source and see where I can add it and add the options to the admin cPanel so I can edit it easily.
