Quotefault v2

What is Quotefault?

Quotefault is a Quote Database for out-of-context quotes spoken by members of Computer Science House.

Why is v2?

Original Quotefault was written by user:dantayy in (supposedly) one weekend. It was a great piece of software, but it was decided that it must be rewritten to support a more modern client-server architecture, instead of the template format it used previously.

What is v2?

Features added:

1. Multi-user quotes
2. Infinite scrolling (finally)
3. Search
4. More Search (!)
5. Report reasons
