  • It's a difficult one. .. In the 1800s if answer mug was around using carrier pigeons fit example. .. Those who prophesied heavier than air flying contraptions would have adorned such walls ... hindsight can make fools of us all .. Who's to judge? ... Anyway enough philosophical waffle .. yep. .. Go for it

    I recall a question on a Q&A site you used to frequent that would take the top slot.

    Paraphrasing... "If not for the wind in a storm, how fast could lightning travel?" or something like that.

    Umm, no. It would be a place where stuff gets sent.

    I probably should have prefaced this with a disclaimer that it's not something I was seriously considering. I was reading an article the other day about a forum that did this and I was mortified. It sounds like a good way to breed negativity and stop people from talking. I'm not gonna lie, though, I thought of a few that would have wound up on the wall first. lol Not regular members, mind you- the crazy crap that trolls email me with.

    We'd all wind up on the wall at some point in time or another, so I figure a general democratic vote is best, no?

    A site that I used to frequent? The only one I was on before this was Answerbag... but, yeah, I could totally see that question there. Actually, I could see me asking it just to see what people would say. I love imaginative answers.

    That would be a judgment call. Who will you trust to make it ? Yourself ? me ? Steven Hawking ? The Buddha ? Democracy ?

    I am glad you said this, as you are working on the new site and have posted at least one other question asking for opinions on something for that. I was a bit taken aback when I saw this post because you have stressed your desire to foster a positive environment here.

  • One of the rules, if you like, of brainstorming, is that a bad idea can lead to a good idea .. so discard nothing in your thinking ... maybe what you need is a wall of a honour that people can aspire to?

    Yes, I should have considered that before I posted. Sorry if there was any confusion.

    That is freaking brilliant! 

    I'm going to poke around and see how difficult that would be to implement on the new site.

    I don't know what you mean by "what ifs," but, to clarify, Karen isn't an admin here anymore.
