Basically, we used to play quest threads on /tg/, and lots of people enjoyed them. They got so popular on /tg/ that people on other boards started having their own quest threads.

After a while, the former site owner decided that all quest threads had to go on /tg/. This caused problems, because there were a LOT of /a/nime quests, and they were almost invariably of very poor quality. This heavy influx of low-quality quests soured a lot of people to the idea of quest threads in general.

Later, a mod was put in charge of /tg/ who didn't like quest threads, so he made the /qst/ board. Unfortunately for quest threads, almost all of the people who enjoy them are on /tg/, and there's no incentive to lurk a dead board hoping that a quest you like will show up. Because of this, /qst/ is slowly dying. Threads on /qst/ are automatically deleted after three days, which helps to conceal the fact that this is one of the most dead boards on the site.

Pic related is some of the early quests from /tg/.

Could you give me an archive link or screencap of your favorite quest thread?

Did you participate in that thrad? if so, what poster were you?

>>1428734
Mostly accurate.

>automatically deleted

Isn't quite true. Threads cannot be /bumped/ after 3 days, which is a shame, but less of one.

This one's from the /tg days.

/qst/ isn't all dead. Some newbie authors(QMs) like having a small audience.

Why so curious anon? You can check suptg for the grand master archive. Just think of a topic and search from there. My favs thus far are hoise and dominion, Hive Queen quest, Death among the stars, hyperdimensional dwarf fortress quest, Western Warlock, lost in the 70s and The wonderful story of 2D and his shadow run adventures. Tauquest was fun too, and the story the all guardsmen party is maximum overlols.

Trawlerquest is a thing I never expected to see, and it's great.

Anon, just so you know you should post questions like this in /qtg/ next time instead of making another thread.

Most of these started in that /tg/ period that anon mentioned earlier. Soma and Deculture are still active. All are good.

This one's probably posted every time, but I should post it too. If you search for "Ruby Quest" online, you'll find a series of flash anims out of it. Easier to follow than this format, maybe.
