"It's the quotable brick of awesome that is SFZero, refined into a smooth creamy quotepaste, just for you. Quotepaste is kind of like toothpaste, except it's healthier and it doesn't taste quite so minty."

Quotepaste
Because everything is improved with a circular logo!

Quotepaste is kind of like toothpaste, we imagine.

It depends on whether or not you see "re-arrangment" as an "improvement/amendment".
Refining, yes, the monolithic brick, I do so like it.
But, does the design include the ability to click away and cast multiple quote votes for the same quote?
I should make it very clear that I do love this site, it's an AWESOME idea.
EDIT: I'll vote for the idea.
Ooh, I've got myself a comment flagger. Touché.
the comment flagger's hit the best of us my dear.
Dear Skype,
Is it wrong that my life has more meaning now that I have found you? I can hardly remember what my life was before your brilliance appeared. Please never leave me.
Love,
Minch
Quotepaste is like toothpaste, and toothpaste is like frosting! The gummies approve.
No quotes by me? Has a year of being a damn comment monkey really come to this? Erased from the canon? Fie! The meaninglessness of my existence overwhelms me! ::sob::
This site is all about user-submitted content... so I call upon some users to find the greatest of Bex quotes for us!
My hero. ::wipes away tears::
p.s. I think the most quoted thing I ever set in motion on SF0 was this: Down with Hills.
I can only wade through so many pages, I second the good Dok's challenge.
There's 2900 users on this site and thousands of tasks. It's worth it. All you sorry bitches need to do some wading! I wade alla time!
Oh my god. I have a new crush!
Damn, Sean, you kick ass.
Am I missing something on Quotepaste? Well, yes, I am, but the question is whether or not it is there and I can't see it, or if it is not there and should be.
The quotations do not seem to have proper attribution as to where and when the quotes occurred, so that if one wanted to look back for context one would have to search and dig.
As we've found in the current court caste by Jo Rowling and Warner Brothers against Small Publishing and Web Guy, proper attribution is vital when amassing a lexicon of quotes.
I believe JTony is right, there should be an input form on who said them, when they were said, and in what context, to neaten things up, I think.
Possibly a link back to the original if available (obviously this wouldn't work for skypequotes).
The whole point about quotes is that they go beyond their actual limited context. These things are great no matter if he said them on a stage or waiting in line at the cleaners.
Wasn´t this about distilling awesome? In order to clutter it back with links and dates? Geez.
I'm entirely ok with the absence of context. I miss so much on the first go round, it's just nice picking it up at all. Denser form don't hurt a whit.
Voting for quotes on there is the lame!
Your upgrade to QuotePaste has been received.
How about now?
You voted for that quote. That quote is now exceedingly happy with itself, and thanks you for your support.
I have no idea at all how to make it not need refreshing.
Anyone?
What if it refreshed but the comment came up on the page you were on?!
Also my comment up there hasn't gotten nearly enough votes.
For those that don't remember, Quotepaste still be around. And I be paging through it recently and finding old long-forgotten gems. The top-voted quote be the Mayor of Claycord proclaiming that he be winning our game, but other favorites include these:
NOTE: Actually, do try this at home. Just don't blame us if things go horribly horribly wrong.
No sweetie, there's no time for a bath tonight, you have to run for senate and then scare a chicken in San Francisco.
I be reminding ye all of this on Talk Like a Pirate Day as an excuse to bring up me recent bit of tribute to a famous Pirate King, posted on Skype. It be Quotepaste quote number 183, and it be in need of sharing somewhere on SF0 proper.
Oh, better by far to task all day
In the great SFZero way
Than to simply live our normal lives
And not for flagging of Sutro strive!
There soon begins an era new
Where everyday life's what we do
But I'll be true to the song I filk
And keep my tasks of an epic ilk
For I am a tasking fiend!
And it is, it is glorious indeed
To be a tasking fiend.
For I am a tasking fiend
(You are, hurrah for a tasking fiend!)
And it is, it is glorious indeed
To be a tasking fiend
(It is, hurrah for a tasking fiend
Hurrah for a tasking fiend!)
Whene'er a new place greets my eyes
For a BARTPAesque view of it I try
I cross the country just to play
In street games when they come my way
But as I live far from fair Frisco's shores
There's few other players; this I abhor
But somehow I still find a way
To write up praxis this era's last day
For I am a tasking fiend!
And it is, it is glorious indeed
To be a tasking fiend.
For I am a tasking fiend
(You are, hurrah for a tasking fiend!)
And it is, it is glorious indeed
To be a tasking fiend
(It is, hurrah for a tasking fiend
Hurrah for a tasking fiend!)
1. Dear god, a bash clone. Love it.
2. How does this complete this task?
