Thanks for all the fish~
I would like to greatly thank PPN Steve for publishing our story and pointing our users here.
For those of you who recently went online to view our old website [URL of which will no longer be posted] you may have noticed a rather weird message saying that PoKéQuesT was dead for a few reasons.
For those of you who may think that this blog was hacked, there are at least six ways to tell that the new website was not created by PoKéQuesT.
PoKéQuesT is always programmed using the newest technologies. If you looked at the source of the "new site" and compared it to the old source of labs, you'd see a vast difference. Labs had an XML opening tag, and declared an XHTML 1.1 + SVG + MathML 2.0, as you can see, the "new site" is using "XHTML 1.0 Transitional" <-- eww.
PoKéQuesT's self-made pages are always written using UTF-8 technology. If you look at the source of the "new site" you can see that they are declaring a charset of ISO-8859-1, the common Windows character set.
The title is left as "Untitled Document", saying that it was probably generated by something. Have we set a <title> tag with "Untitled Document"? I mean really, who the does that?
The "RIP" states that the start date is in 2007. Well, Labs was in 2007, but , the domain itself was registered in 2006, and PoKéQuesT took place at least a year or two before that! (The General idea, originally called PokémonIRC)
The "new site" is signed by someone called "The Sensei". I have never been "The Sensei", I'm PokéSensei.
The "new site" has incorrectly formatted the name of the project, writing it as "PokéQuesT" instead of "PoKéQuesT". Note the capital K in the second sample. :)
