Ligotti Quotation Database - Forum Guidelines
The online quotation database has been removed from the site. Instead, the quotations will be collected and discussed directly within the forums. Most quotations have been transferred already, with member contributions to follow. If you see a post from yourself relative to a quotation you previously submitted to the quotation database, this is merely a transfer taking place.
While I was reasonably satisfied with the stand alone quotation interface, I decided to abandon it for several reasons. Foremost, it was a separate engine requiring additional registration measures and lacked integration with the main forum. Integration within the forum will hopefully initiate more submissions and subsequent discussion, as the previous interface had not received a submission in several months. One drawback is that the quotations are not maintained in a standard format, and instead are subject to the input of the member. I would like to maintain a certain level of continuity, therefore I request that quotations are submitted by adhering to the following guidelines:

Re: Ligotti Quotation Database - Forum Guidelines
Dr. Bantham,
I probably anticipate your intentions.... I assume MWINYD, Crampton, etc. will eventually be added so that members have a proper place to go for posting and response. Would "Purity", previously uncollected, be a stand-alone entry? Sorry, I just happened to have this monkey wrench in my hand.... Phil | |||||||||||

Re: Ligotti Quotation Database - Forum Guidelines
I didn't clarify. What happens when a "new"collection is mostly reprint?

Re: Ligotti Quotation Database - Forum Guidelines
Yes, the remaining collections will be added soon. Throw them in the general category if a proper home does not exist, and I will sort them out later. Wayward tales will likely be itemized by Small Press, Miscellaneous or some suitable confine. I have pondered such quandaries, you see, and you best be placing thine monkey wrench in yonder tool shed. | |||||||||||

Re: Ligotti Quotation Database - Forum Guidelines
Good one. Though I have not wholly solved this one, I have been researching on how to create "shadow topics", wherein posts are replicated in linked categories. Post in one and it shows in all. I have not refined the code, however. Careful with that monkey wrench, Eugene. | |||||||||||
