>You'll find a fairly in-depth article on that history here by a veteran quester.
FWIW, that was me. :D
By the same token, I might be "vetean" but I'm also EXTREMELY out of the game. (Even though I technically finished a quest a week ago :V )
I wouldn't trust myself as a source very far beyond what I wrote in the essay. One thing that pushed me to write that essay was a desire to write down what I knew before I forgot it. I haven't really been keeping up with questing since 2014.

I'm not sure if MSPFA died when I made the original chart, but it should definitely reflect it now.
Actually, remind me, what year did it die?
By the way, something that was mentioned in the replies to that essay was how Spacebattles had text-based proto-quests which actually predated Problem Sleuth, though they really failed to gain any traction. However, it might be worth mentioning since SB later turned into a huge text-questing site via cross-pollination from /tg/.
(Its "Roleplaying, Quests, & Story Debates" subforum has 8 million posts(!) However, only a portion of those are actual quests, because the forum owners hate quests and won't give them a subforum for some reason.
Seriously, it's nuts how big the community exploded despite actively hostile administration that keeps shoving it in corners.)
