I'm sure most of us are familiar with the quote system on here. You can quote someone by clicking the quote button at the top of their replies:

ILOVESUBWAY
I want to go to the YMCA and sign up to join the Navy. I think that'd be a great career choice for me.

That's your average quote. However, there can be two quotes at a time as well:

pneumatic_transit_tunnel
ILOVESUBWAY
I want to go to the YMCA and sign up to join the Navy.

k, but i thouhgt yur paernts wnated u to become a catholic preist, k?

But for the past months we've being seeing more than that. As THE BONDO BANDIT and Zack would call them, they've become

Hey, isn't that a Village People song? :-) :p

Yup! It sure is. Why doesn't this surprise me…

May I suggest becoming a Priest? We're in quite a bind up here in jolly old Cadbury. St. Thomas å Becket has disappeared.

I theorize you haven't been studying your History, have you Wilson?

why doesnt he just get a job working at losers r us? he'd fit in over there.

keep it up WC. your time for banning is coming soon. unti then, how about some peanut butter plaster for the road?

im outta here

ILOVESUBWAY, as the Webmaster of this board, I think you'd make a great addition to the Navy. Go for it! BTW, can you advertise these new Gamecube games for me? And no, I'm not making you a Mod…

Gee, Mr. Paulson it's sooooooo great to see you back here from your job, because I was getting worried that something might've happened to you and you've been like a brother to me, Mr. Paulson, and I'd die if anything ever happened to you. If there's anything you ever need, just let me know, because I'll do anything to help out my very most bestest friend, that's you, gosh, you sure are a great webmaster, and you know what a great webmaster needs? A great moderator - Me! Listen, I know I SPAMMED! the boards constantly in the Summer of 2002, but I just loved it so much here, especially having such a great webmaster, like you, and I know that Gerald Scoleri had to delete 300 of my posts in one day, and that I've posted under multiple usernames after getting banned, and that I look like Wilem DeFoe, and that my threads are all pointless SPAM!, and that I make too many run-on-sentences, and that I always ask if Louis was on RGB, and that I constantly lie about having a life of my own outside of here, and that I claim to be a great script writer, and that I annoy and irritate basically everyone on here because none of them like me, and that I'll always be the biggest n00b in the history of the GB Community, but I'd make a great Moderator. I'm a good person, and I'd never abuse my power. Man, I just love it here, why else do you think I always come here to be with you Ghostheads?

because youre a loser. plain and simple. why else would you come here? because you probably annoy everyone in the real world were you live. excuse me, used to live. how many times do i have to tell you? no one wants you here. just leave. even that king loser odie worshipper isnt as annoying as you. so i advise you to stop with the lame newbie excuse. this isn't seseme street. come to think of it, even that low life odie worshipper would make a better a mod than you. im sure people would rather listen to his five second memory stickies of reccuring garfield characters and rabbi meir kahane malarky than to even look at that wilem defoe pic in your avatar.

ive had enough of youre useless rambling WC. brain has performed an illegal action and will be shut down. LOCKED!!!

Now as of lately, this has been happening almost everywhere on here. I think it was worsened by the SPAMMER! known as Ray Stantz. That is why I've made this thread. A few weeks ago, there was a MASSIVE quotes fiasco (I was one of the users who did it. I didn't start it though.). It went on for pages and pages, until the thread had to be deleted, because it wasn't even loading properly anymore.

What do you guys think? Is it good or is it bad?

It may be fun, but it gets annoying rather fast. I think a few quotes within quotes are okay, but after a few it should be stopped.

Well, that is the reason why I can see a good few of the future Ghostbusters.nuts comic strips being done by Matthew.

I'm not sure, as fun as they were, they do cause the pages to lag a bit.

Yeah, I agree with you Zack. It was funny in the beginning, but having to read all those quote boxes gets very painful to eyes.

It's a good thing we all seem to agree on this. Everyone try to be careful with this in the future.

I don't really mind them. Picture threads though, not for us with fast connections, but slower connected people it could be a pain for because it's loading the same picture on that page however many times…

I voted good. They're ok to prove a point or when used in normal conversation; but when they're unneccesary, they're bad.
