I was wondering who has seen the REAL chexquest.com. I have a picture of what it looked like but it's so tiny you can't see anything. Does anyone have an archive?

chexquest.com still exists, but it no longer has anything to do with Chex Quest.
It is now home to General Mills' You Rule School website, and has a bunch of flash games related to various General Mills cereals, such as Cookie Crisp and Lucky Charms.

<_< Thats kinda of stupid making the site into that school junk

Chex Quest was a promotion that ended 8 years ago, so you can't blame them for reusing the site for something else.
I guess we will just have to make do with making our own sites. :D

I do not mean to offend you, but the original You Rule School website was www.youruleschool.com (and it still is). I remember seeing the URL on cereal boxes when it first went up.
Personally, I dislike their idea of

It doesn't make sense to type in chexquest.com and end up at You Rule School. It sounds like a advertising strategy I learned in school: they offer one product but actually give you an inferior one. I think they should have just deleted the chexquest.com site.

I guess that is like what a bunch of porn site operators are doing now.
They wait for a popular website to lapse in reregistering their domain name, then register it for themselves, before the real owner has a chance to correct the problem. That way, they trick users of the original site into visiting the porn site, and have all websites that used to link to the original sending their users to the porn site too!
It's not a very nice practice.

Yeah, I hate that. Then you can never find the original site again..... screw those porn/warez fools.
Richie has a pic of CQ.com, but I never saw the original. :( oh well
Boingo the Clown - August 29, 2003 01:12 AM (GMT)
It may be possible to build a reasonable facsimilie from Richie's screenshots, if he still has them.
I can not say for sure, because I never saw tyhe original version of the site either.
Loremaster - August 29, 2003 01:21 AM (GMT)
Yea, that could be possible. Maybe we could make a ChexQuest.com version 2.0! ...........well, maybe. someday
Boingo the Clown - August 29, 2003 01:36 AM (GMT)
It doesn't hurt to dream.
Richie - August 29, 2003 02:33 AM (GMT)
When ChexQuest.com expires one of us could register it before they renew it. But it'll take like 10 years.
Loremaster - August 29, 2003 03:47 AM (GMT)
Nah, I'd rather do something like Chexworld.com, or The Chexlight Zone [sorry, couldna resist]. On a more serious note, something like chexphenomenon.com or chexquestcorp.com would be better
Richie - August 29, 2003 01:28 PM (GMT)
How about Barf Central :P . Here's that picture of ChexQuest.com...
Click HereRight click and hit save target as.

If someone could change the picture to a vector drawing format, we could enlarge it and see the details.
Flembrane - August 29, 2003 07:55 PM (GMT)
^I hope someone does that
LAZ MASTER - October 7, 2003 12:52 PM (GMT)
It may seem weird that I put this at the end of this, but I just joined.
Anyway, I went to the CQ website several times. I got the game about a week after it came out. I WAS THERE! :lol: The website, if I remember right, wasn't that great.

Loremaster - October 7, 2003 10:59 PM (GMT)
I remember hearing that it had bios. Did it have one of the Chexwarrior?
BTW: Welcome to the forum!
Richie - October 8, 2003 02:05 AM (GMT)
Welcome to my forum LAZ MASTER. Anyway, I just remembered, I think I may have been to chexquest.com. When I was about 6 I got Chex Quest and I asked my Dad if he could show me chexquest.com. I don't remember what it looked like.
LAZ MASTER - October 8, 2003 03:04 AM (GMT)
Sorry Loremaster, I can't remember a single thing about the site. Oh well. And thanks for the warm welcome, Richie too. I have kindof an off-topic question: What's up with the "Member title" thing? I don't like being a Flemodius Commonus! :angry: How do I get a higher rank?
LAZ MASTER - October 8, 2003 03:06 AM (GMT)
Or is it Flemoidus Commonus? I can't remember! :huh: :blink: :wacko: :blink: :huh: :D
Richie - October 8, 2003 06:50 PM (GMT)
That is your rank. It changes as you post more. But please, don't spam to make it go up. And when it does go up don't announce it to the world.
Guest - October 8, 2003 07:21 PM (GMT)
Sorry. It was just a relief not to be a Commonus anymore. It was humiliating. :lol: :lol: :lol:
LAZ MASTER - October 8, 2003 07:23 PM (GMT)
Oops, sorry that was me. :D
Loremaster - October 9, 2003 01:28 AM (GMT)
If you want your own member title, then in the 'my controls' type yourself a custom member title.

I smell some official idiots.....
Anyway, Richie, I said I absolutely loathe and despise how they're treated during life. I said nothing of the method of death.

I am proud to say that I have indeed seen the original site. For a site in 1996, it was pretty well done. I never made any screen caps because I had no idea what those were then, but I have an almost photographic memory and I can still see the home page when I close my eyes and think hard.
Then all of a sudden I wanted to download Chex Quest 2 again a few years later in 1998, and it didn't link to www.youruleschool.com but instead the domain was registered by them, and they left a note on the home page saying that the site was no longer available.
Truthfully, the Chex Quest site is practically celebrating its 7th anniversary no longer available.

It's kinda sad, but funny. I too remember the 'Sorry, but this game ain't availible anymore' page. When I went to go get the game, and I saw that, my stomach became a black hole singularity. It was like CQ had died......... Then I too found CQmania. AFTER it's heyday though, but before this site. Back when Richie still had his old Catsoup page. ^_^
Richie - January 16, 2004 03:57 AM (GMT)
You remember that? LOL, that was my first website. I started it when I was 8 and then grew out of it and let it sit unchanged. :P
Loremaster - January 17, 2004 04:50 AM (GMT)
Yea, I remember it. long time ago [in a galaxy far, far away.........] ^_^
ChexBoss32890 - January 18, 2004 08:19 PM (GMT)
*chukleing*
Catsoup. No effence, but that was a strange site. ^_^ But you improved. ^_^
froghawk - January 19, 2004 12:19 AM (GMT)
Even I remember catsoup! The name sounds mean...
ChexBoss32890 - January 19, 2004 12:36 AM (GMT)
i never thought of it that way. :blink:
Loremaster - January 19, 2004 02:10 AM (GMT)
I just thought that the little background pictures looked like bread with a face........ it was odd. ^_^

Loremaster - January 19, 2004 02:18 AM (GMT)
I KNOW that! I'm just saying what it LOOKED like!
