Quotev

Quotev is a for-profit quiz site marketed to teens. 
A similar site was Quizilla.
==Its Beginning==
The site itself gives the date 2008 as its creation. About; archive link . This was under its original name, "Quizazz". from Wow I knew quotev was a little unknown but I expected the subreddit to be bigger than this (January 2024) It appears it began on Facebook, or had a Facebook gateway. "I was here when Quotev was on Facebook and was called quizzaz" -- comment by Springer3369 at your quotev experience (December 2023) 
In 2012, the site's name changed to "Quotev.

==Definitely for the Young==
The site has a minimum age requirement of 13, but that clearly was mostly a suggestion to may users. A small 2024 poll shows most users were 12 and under. How old were you when you first joined quotev? (January 2024) 
==Popular Fandoms ==
Fan Fiction is listed on the home page as one of the major Story categories. As of November 2015, the Fan Fiction page displays popular tags that include the following fandoms:
:Anime/Manga, One Direction, Original Fiction, Justin Bieber, Harry Potter, Naruto, Hetalia, Twilight, Creepypasta, Black Veil Brides, Homestuck, Supernatural, 5 Seconds of Summer, Bleach, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead
Other tags include variations on the names of One Direction members, as well as genre tags like Reader, Romance, Fantasy, Adventure, Vampire, Action, Horror, Realistic, and Mystery.
==Quotev's Owner and Admins ==
The name of Quotev's "owner" is always redacted , but the name "Bill Havre" can be seen in a 2017 address change in Wyoming as per Harve's signature on the PDF "RA Address Change - 2017-002180859 Date: 11/16/2017" at Filing Details . It is likely that this is a "registered agent" and a placeholder for someone/s who do not want to be identified.

Admins are users who are selected by an unknown process. Currently it is known that there is a corporate ladder of admins; the owner is at the top, and at the bottom are users who report to others higher up.
==Admins: Non-Responsive, Unengaged, Run by Bots ==
As of 2016 (perhaps earlier), the site's admins were always mostly non-responsive. How Long Did It Take For Quotev Admins To Respond? (March 2024) :
The site is rumored to now be run by bots. I Have One Last Post On My Mind About Quotev😤😡 (April 2024)

The Big Bad Update: 
On May 31st, 2024, most Quotevians closed the site and went to bed expecting nothing, only to wake up the next morning to find their beloved haven had become a dystopian realm.
The devs decided to make users unable to post new topics/messages in their groups and create new groups, removed the following feed, the chatbox and groups and the direct messaging tab had messages promising that you'd lose the ability to DM and your existing messages on July 1st.
Response 
Several theories, including a person who made a threat towards the US president being the cause, circulated, but according to an admin news message, disproved this. Though protests, strikes and petitions started, they made good on that promise and messages and groups were deleted. 
(It's worth noting that they did allow people the option to download their messages, unlike in May 2024 when Wattpad removed direct messages). Many users added δ (the Greek letter D) to their Display Names (DNs) as a signal of death to the Q admins.
After it, a now-deleted Wixsite called Aether (aetherspace.wixsite.com/aether) was made that had following, messages (if I remember right) and groups. It went offline around a week or two after being used due to the revelation that Wix is a Pro-Israel company.
An on hold and will probably never be released website called Luneris was announced and a Discord server for updates and whatnot was made, but it hasn't been posted to in a hot minute.
 Migration 
In my friend group, the most of us repurposed existing Pinterest, Wattpad and Discord accounts or created new ones. I myself created migratory accounts of the three and then put myself on the wait-list for an AO3 account. After a bit, I was able to create my account and have been obsessed with AO3 ever since.
 (It's just what we do in the fandom; when it all goes bad, we migrate to AO3. 
 Fanfic.net explicit fic purge? A flock of users moved to AO3. 
 Tumblr explicit fic purge? Where did all those authors go? Haha, you guessed it, AO3.
 I still use Q, as I have friends and readers on there and it's much more user friendly than Discord.
