Leave the "Quotes" screen as it is
John Cage wrote the musical piece "4 minutes and 37 seconds". It is a piano piece in which no music is actually played at all. Instead, the listener is forced to listen to the background noise of whatever venue it is performed in, to consider that "silence" is a misnomer, and to accept that a vital partof music is the setting- the audience is creator of the music just as the performer is.
Now the quotes screen read just "Here is something to think about while you wait" accompanying a white void. The message is clear- "think for yourself".
Instead of being enlightened as to what Dr McCoy said when he caught Kirk about commit another act of cross-species miscegenation with some alien species that wears too much mascara and is unaccountably curious as to what snogging entails, we have become enpowered.
Thank you.

The quotes always went away before I could read half of the text, so it's all right for me if it stays empty...

I tried clicking the pause button. It doesn't work.
I'd like the quotes to come back.

I agree with Laz. The blank quote screen is absolutely great !

I second this one. The quotes aren't that important.

I find myself in agreement with Laz. Oh the humanity!
Of course, an added bonus will be the frequent threads here asking why the field is empty. Another +1 spamfest opportunity, just like the stats question.

A good plan. Though the weekly "Why are there no quotes" threads could become as annoying as the ubiquitous "post stats" thread.
I'd start a quotes thread competition, but its probably quicker just to call WoA the champion.

Does that mean we have got the quotes back then? Guess I'll have to post to find out! 
EDIT: Well, well...

I'm a newbie here too, but I think it's a thread asking what the A-D-M-HP stats in your profile mean.

Indeed. From time to time someone asks this same question in a new thread, and some people have been trying to predict when the next similar thread will be posted, but the competition is in vain, because War of Art always get it right.
As for the quotes, I like them. They're funny.

SKywalker,
you should make your predictions here
 , but if the thread get's bumped then won't that make the next time it happens delayed as it will still be fresh?
then again all this discussion about post stats might delay it as well. Maybe that was Dr. Spike's plan all along. :wring hands:

Hehe I can't even remember my guess, so I don't have an ulterior motive. It's probably best if noone bumps the thread linked in the last post. Skywalker your guess is noted, provided it doesn't clash with any in the other thread.
