Not a surefire system, but that second Jkaen quote is the only one I don't remember Ichabod, so my guess is it was never a QotM.

Use the Wayback Machine perhaps? It seems to have enough snapshots of the forum front page to build a sizeable cache of past quotes.

I think wayback missed something. The one about the D3, guild and vaporware was there for a long time. More than a year afyer I joined the forum, I'd guess.
And regarding the Pachiderm quote, I think Sunrise is right. Which means I'm wrong :neenernee.

Quote:I just started a new D3 guild called the Irrelevant Vigilantes of Vaporware. -Cyrene
I may be wrong about the capitalization and/or punctuation, but it was definitely by Cyrene, and I'm pretty sure those were the exact words.

Some unfortunate soul back in 1999, posted an ad to recruit D2 guild members on the old Asylum forum:
Quote:Hi, I just started a new D2 Guild called Apostles of Reverence. We can be found at http://apostles.cjb.net Come check us out!! We are looking for new members! 
Which Cyrene responded with
Quote:Hi, I just started a new D3 Guild called "The Irrelevant Vigilantes of Vaporware."
Our goal is to form a powerful guild, have a leadership struggle, and splinter into a bunch of sub-guilds of one member each with out-of-date web pages--all before D3 goes into development.
After that, we'll be real busy working on the Y3k issue.
Here's some causal conversation about it when I posted it as the QotM, HERE.
And inside that conversation is this bonus from our beloved Charis
