  • People can vote up or down a quote
  • People can flag inappropriate quotes

The site was started up by Rioter so that people had a place to submit quotes back in 2008, with a domain purchased not long after. The original WQDB used the freely available RASH Quote System. Later that year, WQDB was rewritten from the ground up to allow custom features to be built.
