I did a few preliminary searches for a phpbb quotebot addon, and there seems to be a number out there. I didn't know what version of phpbb this was so I don't have any links for you, assuming you even have access to add that sort of thing. It would be cool though. The quotebots I've seen usually just read out of a massive .txt file uploaded somewhere, taking random lines and printing them out, so quotes would have to be screened/added by hand.

I've got a quotes.txt on my HDD. It's all me though, so that could be good or bad depending on your point of view.

The ones I've seen have put them on the top of the main page, but you can put it wherever you like.

"Also, I'm the only one I know of capable of a pelvic parry and riposte." --Squashmonster

* unknown_entity blows the engrish conch and waits for blob

"Ah, the internet. Giving voiceless, pubescent young teens a place to rant about everyone in their lives to a bunch of people who either think it's funny or want to rape them. I love you, Internet." -- U_E

These three are pretty good. Anyone else have good ones?

There be plenty more on greatboards, and I'll wager somebody has a few from jconserv. Fluffy, of course, would be a plentiful source of awesome quotes

The majority of my quotes are classified under the NSFW setting, which would probably be a bit inappropriate for this site.

Real question is how many people join these forums with absolutely no knowledge of IVAN but find themselves attracted to the banana pickaxe logo?

Yeah but some of the others are far less tame. Though, looking at my (obviously narcissistic) quotes list, I'm fairly sure there's some material in there that is not only hilarious but won't offend everyone and their dog. Some being the key word there.

Those ones are fairly tame.

The Quotes thread in Spam is actually a good place to find good quotes too...

Not really good for just one-liners, but yeah I agree.

Alrighty. There is a quote bot in place but he only quotes from the game. Now let's compile a list of other quotes we want to put in it.

Yess! Finally! Try the quotes thread, though they are mostly small conversations, not single lines.

I only found a couple one-liners in that thread. So right now there are about 30 from the game, 6-7 from Terry Pratchett, and 3 from IVANers. I originally put in a couple multi-line quotes but they really messed up the layout by pushing the forum down too far. So we're going to have to stick to 1 and 2 liners.

I used to have a few IVANer quotes saved to my computer but I lost them. The only one I can remember is:

"I'm also the only person I know capable of a pelvic parry and riposte." -Squashmonster

"Put more stuff in the... thing where... more stuff goes in."

Side note, I don't suppose you could provide a link to a list of all currently existing quotebot entries?
