Here is something to think about while you wait:

What happened to this nice feature? I did a search on it (exact phrase), but strange enough didn't find anything useful .

Anyone knows what happened with it?

[DrSpike]

If search was working you would have turned up many threads on this topic. I guess in this case you can be excused.

The quotes were never put back after some changes IIRC. Maybe they'll make a return, maybe not. Good riddance I say.

This discussion took place between Dec. 9 and Jan. 29 but IIRC no participation from the Poly Gods to indicate the ultimate outcome -- probably because most posters were pleased to see it gone...

HERE's the thread...

[Gilgamensch]

Thanks for the link.

So looks like, they are still thinking what they shall give us to think about.

Mark said he noted it down, but maybe this note has been deleted by one of Solvers actions as well

I think they'll probably go after issues like Search and My Threads before apochrypha like the Quotes database.

One would hope JR is correct. So many things to fix.

The page seems to have no function other than to hold the place while the post gets processed. Is it even necessary?? And don't click the hurry up link; it seems to delay things even longer.

We can pray that C. Gardner would say about this, "All will be well in the Spring."

It's tragic. There must be a few lines of "Star Trek" dialogue that I've still not read.

I always think about it. The white background has inspired me quite often to do great things

[DarkCloud]

The white background inspires us to think for ourselves, instead of reading canned quotations

[Skanky Burns]

The civ-related quotes that came up sometimes were good. Probably because they were neither Star Trek quotes nor slabs of text from random books that were neither interesting or funny.

I've gone back to thinking about naked women while I'm waiting.

[Skanky Burns]

Now that would be a feature!

[Ben Kenobi]

It would probably discourage spam too.

[Jamski]

Well, I still miss this feature. It made 'poly a bit different to other forums.

Me, too.
