Memorable Quotes is a thread that collects, you guessed it, memorable quotes from all over the forum. If you find a quote you think shouldn't be buried in the depths of the forum, post it here and it might get posted on the MQ thread.
Things to bear in mind:
- No forum-inappropriate material.
- Keep 'em short and sweet. The posts shouldn't be longer than three or four quotes.
- Try to avoid inside jokes. Not everyone follows fandoms and the MQs are meant to be universally understood, whether you're a newbie or an old-timer with five forum years under your belt.
- Use your judgment. If you think that the quote is something the whole forum should see, post it here. If it's something that mainly has personal value (inside jokes and suchlike) it'd be better to save it in your diary or scrapbook in the Dear Diary board.
-- It's generally considered bad form to ask for a quote of your own to be MQ'd, since it's really hard to judge your own sense of humor. If your quote is part of a several-post group that's funny because of the other people, it's less of an issue, but you should still be more cautious about requesting it.
- The MQ thread is intended for forum quotes, rather than outside quotes. MSN conversations with forumers are kind of a grey line, since they're outside the forum... unless you post them on the Bloids or Things People Say first, of course.
