Is it possible to add quotes to the main page because I don't see how you can edit it. Can only WikiSysop and bunni edit that part? Because I'm an admin., I figured I could do that. Anyone know how?

Looks like Orca has figured it out. I saw him edit it earlier today, using this page:

But yeah, let's get more quotes added.

So how does this work again? Wiki isn't my strongest thing to edit

I added some quotes (really good ones ). Some of the ones on now I don't really like though. They should be good quotes in that they are gun related and memerable. The SWAT quote isn't memerable. And the one from Aliens about nuking the site isn't gun related (no one has ever IDed a nuke on IMFDB.)

"Easy to pick up, hard to put down." That's a good qoute relating to guns

Is it in a movie? Because it has to be a movie quote to pertain to both guns and films.

Yes it is. It's from the movie Hard Boiled. I forgot which character said it.

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. The quote should be firearms related and memorable. Lest we just turn into another IMDB trivia site, and not a dedicated site to guns in films.

That's why we shouldn't let everyone know how to access quotes. We wouldn't want some anonymous user adding pointless quotes. Maybe just the serious players like the admins, moderators, and devoted users.
