Quotes from where?

???

This sounds like a lot of coding, by the way, for something I'm not sure many would use...

[lady_angelina]

Ahhh, sorry. I meant, where would these quotes come from to make up this database? Would this be a list that the user compiles individually, or would they be snippets culled from people's public entries, or would they come from a quotes community like metaquotes, etc.?

The last one might be okay, since I think it requires permission on the part of the one being quoted, but the second one might be a breach of privacy (even with public entries), and the first one... it's just as easy to collect these quotes in Notepad and then copy and paste them as needed.

No, I'm sorry! I didn't make it clear that I -- like you -- didn't understand, which is why I put in the question marks!

What you said made perfect sense to me!

It's a nice idea, considering that as it is communities are a poor substitute for a real QDB, and that people do try (I've seen a few floating around), but I think for that kind of functionality, you're better off getting an off-site solution.

It is kind of tangential to the site's main function as a journal, as well. I don't see as much of a parallel with Scrapbook as you do.

Agreed.
