Someone, going by the name "Allen", came to the ADRIFT forum ( http://www.adrift.org.uk/ and posted a rather immature message. It went something like, "Adrift Sucks, Quest Rulesss! Ha,ha,ha."
I hope you Quest users won't sink to his level...
Just thought you should know about this guy.

Just like to point out, also, that the man happens to be the Creator of Quest. I suggest you read it to see how low it really is. Especially when he says, "Shut up. This topic is closed."

I have just posted this in the ADRIFT forum. I do actually read it because I admit to playing with ADRIFT as well as Quest!
Just read "Allen's" post and some of the replies...
Oh dear :-(
Most Adrift users will realise that "Allen" is just trolling, he has (as far as I am aware) never posted on the Quest forums and most certainly has nothing to do with Quest's originator Alex Warren or (I suspect) genuine Quest users.

I suspect the debate as to whether Quest or Adrift is "better" will never really end, just as the debate between fans of Inform & TADS as to which of those two is "better" just rolls on and on.
The difference is that the TADS v Inform debate is mainly conducted by mature people who don't resort to 'rubbishing' a perfectly good system just because they personally prefer something else. I happen to find that Quest suits my purposes better than ADRIFT, but I recognise that C.W's ADRIFT is a very well thought out & implemented system that will probably suit other people with different priorities rather better than Quest does. This is essentially the 'way it is' with software tools - one uses what suits one's way of working.
Adrift & Quest are both seen as 'lesser' systems by the IF community at large already, neither camp will enhance its standing if users are seen to bicker like a bunch of spoiled 8 year olds.

Plus, I'd just like to apologize to Alex for confusing him with that little troll. :)
