God no, the first one with the janitor was great, the next ones became boring and unfunny. People will start making shit threads like 'ask a superhero anything'.
Ask a fat person anything
No, it's just a fad that won't last forever.
No, but one about jobs and workforce in general would be very informative and helpful for finding/recommending jobs, giving important facts about your own, and so on.
Make a "Tell about your job" subforum instead of that.
[QUOTE=jetboy;20699905]Make a "Tell about your job" subforum instead of that.[/QUOTE]
That's what it is, but it doesn't limit to people to their jobs. If anyone has any kind of hobby or whatever they can share it.
This idea gives me a hard-on
Yes, "Ask a Computer Science degree student anything"
ask a homeless guy anything
Isn't this what fast threads is about? Perhaps I' am mistaken.
I say ban them. Those thread usually never get past one page, and the "jobs" are getting worse and worse.
"I am a 12 year old, ask me anything!"
It's a fad and it'll go over soon, no need to create an extra forum. The front page is cluttered enough already
I don't get why there should be.
If you wanted to ask the moderators about something, then there's the PM button, and usally they reply.
So it would be like the Ask / Tell forum on SA then? I think it's a good idea, but only if we can get enough people to contribute.
I think it could work pretty well.
I'm a maths, physics and chemistry tutor - I can take questions on those topics. It might also help clear up the 'help me with x homework' and general help threads that keep appearing.
Most of these threads were content less and annoying, spawning useless and content less replies. Voted "I am not interested".
Ask me anything: Normal Person Edition
I vote yes. I'm interested in reading these sortof threads and see what comes up.
Why is there no "No, I think ask-me threads are worthless or should go into 'fast-threads' always."
I'd probably post a thread if there was a subforum. Probably just mainly post in the threads though now and then if I see something that spiked my interest.
Their has been like 3 "ask me about" threads and you want to give it a subforum?
Bad idea.
I'd probably resurrect my thread, so yeah, I would be interested.
Give it a try, at least for a month or two
only if we're allowed to lie about things i.e. if i made a thread saying 'ask a fireman anything' even though i'm not a fireman and not get banned then i would contribute
I don't really have anything to contribute, but if I did have something I would.
Hmm, maybe "Ask a Window Factory Worker?" That depends on whether I get the job or not, and whether said job is very interesting.
Steal SomethingAwful's idea and make an Ask/Tell subforum.
This would hold the "I'm an X ask me about Y" threads as well as "Anyone an X? I want to know Y" ones.
[QUOTE=NeoTurtle;20699492]I don't think anyone would use it. People would make threads but they'd get nowhere near the attention they do in GD. Maybe make them a Fast Threads thing.[/QUOTE]
I actually agree with this. This would be something good for the Fast Threads. Would bring some new things to it.
Yes, And i would contribute but i work no where, Is there anything else that the section is for?

For good reason though.
