The only problem with this is that some of the quotes come from Ephemera topics that may be pruned, resulting in broken links.Echobeats wrote:What was this with reference to?Delalyra wrote:Pharazon wrote:Weird, sure, maybe in some places a little too weird, but nevertheless the asskickage remains.
I'd like to suggest a rule for this thread whereby we have to link to the post we're quoting, so that anyone who wants to can read it in context. We don't necessarily need to have the page come up with the post in question at the top, because that can be hard to do, but at least the right page in the right thread. Here's the code for such linkage within a quote tag:

At least we'll be able to find the context for a few days afterwards ? which, let's face it, is when most of us are going to want to. And it's better than there being no links at all. But yes, thanks for pointing that out ? it hadn't occurred to me.quentin wrote:The only problem with this is that some of the quotes come from Ephemera topics that may be pruned, resulting in broken links.

if an ephemera page has a great quote we shoudl immediately save the page and upload it to our own website and link to that.

Or just quote what was said, along with some context. E.g.:Dazi wrote:if an ephemera page has a great quote we shoudl immediately save the page and upload it to our own website and link to that.
