Hypography Quotes

[Dark Mind]

We are working on a quote module and it will appear as if by magic one day or another. First we need to solve the new user promotion system which we recently had a competition for. Believe me, it will make all of you want to post a lot more. Say goodbye to your free time, pals.

 

LOL. I already have. I really enjoy my time spent on this site. Thanks Tormod for starting it and thanks IrishEyes and Killean for keeping it running!! :naughty:

What is "free time"? I spend my time in school, on hypography, or in school on hypography, what is this strange notion of "free time"? :naughty:

[OpenMind5]

I also wish to know more about this "free time" you speak of Tormod...what is it? A dream u and your team have made? Maybe some science term that i yet do not know?

The quote is ubiquitous. Ubiquity is wothy of study. Study demands records. OP5 requests a record. Ergo, a new thread. I offer this quote:

"An appropriater reply might be a contyraryer quote." Turtle

[Killean]

Just in case you were wondering Turtle, I merge the thread you created in Social Sciences with the existing quotes thread. :hyper: Only need one of em until vBa Simple Quotes is installed.

So I just wanna recap...Is the idea of a quote of the day/week going to implamented on the home page here at Hypography, or not?

 

And was another post moved/combined with this one?

 

A confused OP5

[Turtle]

___Yes, they combined one I started; I lost this one by unsubscibing to it. Ooops. I also think 'they', those grand wizards of Hypography, hinted that the home page may just appear one day with a quote bar or some such.

___In the mean time, we can throw a few around in here. I think it will work best if we post quotes we personally like one at a time, inasmuch as there are so many quote data bases.
