<![CDATA[Goodbye "Grats", hello "Quote"!]]>I would like to formally suggest we do away with the "grats" channel completely and replace it with the much needed (and missed) in-game "quote" channel.

Big, bright letters so people can see them. :)

OK it sounds liek a deal. When I get back my code Ill kick out grats and replace it with quotes.

What should it look like? (colours, etc).

If we had a quotes channel would people really use it? Adding a channel's pretty much the easiest thing to implement but I dont want to add another channel noone uses.

The difference being, quotes would be something that has been used in the past, with a great deal more enthusiasm than grats, and appropriately at the same time. I can recap hundreds of quotes that were used in-game with that channel, which I still laugh about to this day. Practicality is the point I'm trying to argue.

It takes little more effort to type '. grats <person>' than to use the actual channel itself, whereas a quote is something that takes quite a bit more involvement. Furthermore, quoting while using ooc/gossip can easily be taken out of context. My proposition is to replace a redundant channel with something that has a more practical, and more fun use.</person>

Display OOC quotes? That's what OOC is for.

Display IC quotes? That's what Gossip is for.

Just curious for the reason there needs to be a quotes channel. :P

Would all speech on quotes be recorded in a log for later viewing?

edit: Changed my mind. If it's an ingame quote, just use gossip. If it's an OOC quote, use OOC. Or just come here to quote :P

But! I don't think we need the grats channel. Gossip works just fine for that.
