Where do the post-posting quotes come from?
Is it the same place where fortune cookie quotes are made?

I couldn't be bothered reading the other thread, so if this was mentioned before, too bad. 
There are two threads here (in the community forum) that us Polyites added our own custom quotes. They are by far better quality than the standard quotes from the Fortune Database.

The system uses fortune cookies for the implenitation. But other quotes are added, and the original quotes are less weighted than the added.

I thought the original additions got wiped? Did most get replaced from the original threads used to collect them?
