    Go through a lot of questions, and answer them before you really get into asking them, so you have a good idea of the types of questions people answer most.

    Make sure, if you're asking about specific games or shows (or the like), that you mention it in the question. (Not everyone pays attention to the categories.)

    Make sure the question hasn't been asked before (when you press SUBMIT on the home page, you'll be taken to a screen with the question in the upper left, and previously asked questions that MAY be the same on the right. Read through them and if your answer may be in one of them, then read through IT'S answers, to see if one of those answers satisfies you. If not, either add an answer to the old one (which will renew the question and bring it to the front page), or Ask the question in a different way. The categories are listed below your question... Chose the appropriate one. If you feel the subcategories don't match your question, try another category, and check through them. When you find the appropriate category for your question, submit the question (scroll down to the bottom of the page.)

    Don't ask questions that make no sense... "GREEN???" ... "I'm RICH?"... etc. You will be flagged for a nonesense question. Again, if it has to do with a category, mention the category in the question.

    DO NOT couch insults into questions, even if you mean them in fun. People will downrate the question, and you will get PO'd.

    DO NOT ask for points, for yourself or for others (Positive OR negative). You will be flagged by someone.

    Don't worry about points... They will take care of themselves, if your questions and answers are good or funny.

    If you are downrated, don't get TOO PO'd. There are kids and trolls who do this just to get reactions. REAL DRs don't count against your POINTS, but DO point out questions or answers that some may not agree with.

    Enjoy. Have fun. Watch it - AB can be VERY addicting even to those who are positive they will never get addicted to anything on line.

    Hope this helps.

    Goo luck! ;-)
