Quotes?
Just curious... Why are there those quotes whenever you have posted/voted? Most of them makes no sense at all, while others are way too long to read (And no, I don't intent to press the pause button, just to read it)... Why are those quotes chosen?
Sure, some of them are funny, but they are seldom...

It's from a generic database. Do a search on the forums and you'll find a link to download it.

With those boring quotes in it, I'm not interested in downloading it...

It was some good ones before, but that was under the old server I think...

There are two quotes threads buried in the Community forum filled with quotes that we the people have added to the database. If you feel like making the quotes list more interesting, resurrect one of those threads and start adding more quotes.

There was a new thread right after the new server went up. But did those quotes actually make it into the database? I may have not read the thread very well, but I don't recall seeing any of the quotes from there in the QOTD.
And I kind of agree with ADG here - the quotes from the old server were much better. Many of the new ones just seem like random phrases.

This sounds like a good idea. Let's make up a few new 'poly-centric quotes.

All* we need is someone to transfer the quotes from the two threads into the database.
* I say all, but how long would it take and how easy is it?
