Bring Back QuizDB (BBQ)

Post by quizzical1 »

I feel like QuizDB should not have been retired. If it was a lack of money, maybe a GoFundMe would help? At least we have aseemsDB.

Based on the thread announcing the shutdown, it was a combination of increased hosting fees and lack of interest from the developer, and the latter is not really something you can crowdfund. If it's the packet-reading utility you're looking for, qbreader.org has similar functionality and a much more updated collection of packets.
