Mission Statement

QuestFan aims to archive and catalogue all existing knowledge and plausible speculation concerning the The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and other topics, whether this knowledge is textual, auditory, or visual. Secondly, QuestFan will create new content and foster the growth and development of the Quest series and its fan community.

History

QuestFan was envisioned by ZeaLitY in August 2006 following the success of the Chrono Compendium, a similar site covering its subject matter in painstaking detail and focused on a series with a cult following. QuestFan formally got off the ground on May 18, 2007.

QuestFan Charter

This document provides a general outline of QuestFan as an organization. The charter is not intended to be a definitive resource and is subject to change as the site evolves. It was written by ZeaLitY based on the Chrono Compendium's charter as aided by Ramsus and GrayLensman.

I. Declarations

  1. The site will pursue the enrichment of the fan community through objectives outlined in its mission statement.
  2. The site will not accept or forward Cease and Desist letters regarding fan works mentioned on the site.
  3. The site will not reveal the identity of any member without due process of law.
  4. The site will not participate in affiliate programs of any sort save those conducted on the links page.
  5. The site will not accept commercial advertising of any sort.
  6. The site will not support the commercial endeavors of fans.

  • Creative Emerita
Creative emerita are members who have won an annual fan work contest in the past, but whose titles have passed on to new winners.
  • Questors

b. Registration
To post messages or submit content, you must become a QuestFan member by registering for the Forum. This is for several reasons: 1.) To help control the content of the site and 2.) To identify the author of submissions. Only a valid E-mail address is required for registration. Only one membership is allowed per person to prevent confusion and abuse of the site.
