Also, keep in mind these are squeefic writers. They just don't have the time to think of minor details like correctly marking thier stories as a story or proper spelling and grammar. They need to get right to the blatent flattery and constant ego-boosting as quickly as possible.

The unmarked quizzes are listed in the index as "???". Nova seems to be right by saying they'll show up on the "Everything but" sections.

Not that I want to sound like a complaining bitch-though I probably will anyway-but although the new index is a huge improvement, another big problem is the recent, highest rated, and most popular lists. The recent page is often 80% or more covered in stories. The most popular is much the same, if not worse, and for the most part, real quizzes don't have the slightest chance of making it to the highest rated list.
The highest rated list seems to be reserved for either the "best stories" or as a way to get a message across to as many people as possible. I'm sure most of us have seen the messages where someone complains about the smallest problems-dispite it's relation to Quizilla(or lack thereof)-then demand that everyone "RaTe ThIs HiGh So It WiLl GeT tO tHe HiGhEsT RaTeD LiSt!!!1!!!", sometimes asking others to make similar "quizzes" with the same demand.
I kind of went to rant mode there. But I think people need to realise that Quizilla is a quiz site, not a message board or a place to "air out" your personal views. Those kinds of messages belong in either a personal journal or an appropriate forum.
