QuizbowlDB not working

Post by a Joe »

I've been trying to use QuizbowlDB, you know, to practice, and it hasn't been working for me for at least six months. Does anybody know anything about this, or when it will be fixed? If it helps, I'm using Chrome or IE with Win7.

QuizbowlDB is essentially obsolete. The best database search at the moment is http://quinterest.org/ and should be used instead.

That being said, quinterest still doesn't have everything, and if you want to be really thorough with your practicing you could just download packets directly from http://quizbowlpackets.com/.

Sharad Vikram, who created Quizbowl DB, has not responded to questions about it for over 18 months. I would presume it is never going to get updated (or taken down) unless we explicitly hear otherwise from him.
