Where's Quester's Bold 1 and Redventure 1-3? And why are most of punctuation marks like quotation marks and apostrophes replaced with question marks? It's kinda annoying to read them like that.

A lot of the contests are rather old and were made before this forum was set up. For reference- Redventure 1 and 2 were made around 2002-3. As websites are fragile little things, many of these contests have been lost to time. Questors Bold is rather lucky in that many of our members were around during the ages where they were active, and happened to save backups, so we're in the process of restoring them here.

For reference too: MO5 is the 28th Survivor Contest, it's just a lot of them are missing due to the problems listed above. Some still exist in other places though, like Redwall: Revolutions and The Emperor's Decree 2, which are both safely housed on Fanfiction.net

The question mark thing is a bug that occurred when we swapped servers and has something to do with MS Word using a specific type of script language that didn't coincide with the forum after the server change. I've already changed the forum language to match this script so that future writing is unaffected, but everything that was affected I will likely have to go through and manually fix at a later date.
