He&#039;s got about 4-5 inches on me, so it&#039;d look pretty bad if he lost. ;) Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:48:23 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4579430 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4233838 Is anyone else rather disquieted by the "Yes on 8" ads that AnswerBag has chosen to accept? Where are the "No on 8" ads as well for fairness? It tempts me to propose a boycott. [CA proposition on LGBT marriage]<br /><br />For the record, all of our ads run through ad networks. We don&#039;t &quot;accept&quot; ads from any particular advertiser nor do we even talk directly to any of our advertisers - we just run whatever ads the ad network gives us. If &quot;No on 8&quot; wants to run ads here, they&#039;re...

It&#039;s pretty speedy, has some nice UI features, and so far I am pretty happy with it all in all. It may just become my primary browser, particularly if I can find a way to bring in my Yahoo bookmarks.

Instead of asking a question and then answering their own question with the video. I notice that there are "Video answers" but no video questions. Why is that?<br /><br />Great idea, and it&#039;s actually now possible! Just include the EMBED code for the video (preferably Youtube) when you ask your question in the designated box, and it&#039;ll show up next to your question. Enjoy!

Just include the embed code of the video in the designated box in the Ask page, and it&#039;ll appear next to your question!

We want people to get answers to their questions, no matter how long it takes, so we leave those accounts open indefinitely. It&#039;s no fun to create another account on a site you&#039;ve already registered for, so we figured that would be bad. :) Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:32:01 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3223678 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3112191 Have you noticed the high turnover rate on AB? So many of us are pretty new users.<br /><br />Personally I&#039;d chalk that up to the fact that the site is seeing record numbers of new users these days...but I&#039;m sure there&#039;s some turnover as well. :) Fri, 30 May 2008 18:46:20 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3112191 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2629972 Can you remember any good quotes from any Mel Brooks movies?<br /><br />Where the white women at?

Please see my latest blog post for an explanation: http://www.answerbag.com/blog/comments/162 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:12:22 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2175106 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2168601 Is everyone aware that posting links to rejected questions and answers is a penalty-box offense? Just looking out for everyone here. I speak from experience, LOL.<br /><br />I just checked our logs, and you received no penalty for "posting links to rejected questions" or any reason that sounded remotely like that. Are you sure this was the reason? For the record, posting a link to a rejected question, by itself, it not an offense, and in some cases is actually...

Well, technically Jon did it, but I watched.

How do i explain this to my mom?<br /><br />The way I see it, there&#039;s being &quot;poor&quot; and there&#039;s being &quot;hungry&quot;. While being poor isn&#039;t necessarily a bad thing, being hungry is, particularly if you ever have kids to feed. If you&#039;re going to be poor, you need to expect to be employed your entire life... Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:43:24 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2005854 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2000776 Who keeps giving me -5 and why is he/she doing it? My questions and answers are legit.<br /><br />You got one negative 5 on Jan 5, one on Jan 4, and one on Jan 2, so I&#039;d say it isn&#039;t a pattern of harassment. From the looks of it, your answers that were down-rated tend to be brief and cursory, so if anything I&#039;d suggest putting a little more thought into your answers or perhaps... Sun, 06 Jan 2008 18:33:09 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2000776 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1985572 Is 13 the minimum age requirement for someone to have an Answerbag account? What are the ramifications for a user who has confirmed that they are under the legal age?<br /><br />Legally we are obligated to remove the accounts (or at least any identifiable information) of anyone that we confirm to be under 13. Fri, 04 Jan 2008 09:38:50 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1985572 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1985563 Why did Answerbag raise the minimum age to 14?<br /><br />Our registration form has actually required people to be 14 for over a year now. It reduces legal liability that we are exposed to from youngsters sharing information that they shouldn't. Fri, 04 Jan 2008 09:37:12 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1985563 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1985540 If you have to be 14 years of age to have an answerbag account, why doesn't it ask you your birthday or age when you register for an account?<br /><br />Well, actually it does. Remember? :) Fri, 04 Jan 2008 09:33:47 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1985540 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1511370 What do you call it when you're Answerbagging stoned at work in the nude?<br /><br />Tuesday.

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 14:50:05 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1479883 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1472533 Why I don´t get an confirmation mail from joomlahand.com to confirm my account? I receive other mails from it (for example about comments on my posts) so its not the wrong mail adress. I also check my spam filter and resend it several times. Nada<br /><br />Trooper - I am the admin over at Answerbag, and I have confirmed your account (as well as the others mentioned in this thread), so you can now use it normally. We do seem to have issues with some email providers&#039; spam filters that keep people from getting our confirmation emails....

We'd love to help! We have a couple options: 1. We offer a co-branding program like the one iJoomla is using at http://www.joomlahand.com 2. We have an API that would allow someone to develop a Joomla extension or other plug-ins for Joomla. Info on both programs...

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 21:35:48 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1356347 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1353092 Do you prefer to sleep Naked or do you like your PJ's?<br /><br />test Tue, 11 Sep 2007 11:34:15 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1353092 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1330839 Looking at the similar questions asked, most people like the "Fill in the Blanks" questions, should they have their own category?<br /><br />As noted by galeanda, these do usually get marked as nonsense, unless they can easily be rephrased into a real question (like, &quot;The United States declared independence in year ____?&quot;) We will usually reject the more free-form versions, like &quot;Who wants to ______?&quot; or the like. Fri, 07 Sep 2007 03:08:11 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1330839 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1185653 The AB staff has rejected the question about the AB's top troll list. Should these conversational questions be allowed and discussed, or should it rejected?<br /><br />We are not encouraging the &quot;Top Troll&quot; list, and we prefer not to have links to it from Answerbag lest it be seen as endorsed by us. I think it unfairly highlights a lot of people who are not trolls, and it encourages the over-sensitivity to down-ratings I&#039;ve seen lately. Too... Mon, 06 Aug 2007 11:02:34 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1185653 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1171779 Given that 99% of serial killers are average, middle class men, why is the fear of black crime so prevelant?<br /><br />The reason is that the vast majority of people killed in a homicide are not killed by serial killers. As scary as they are, your odds of being killed by a serial killer are extremely low. You&#039;re much more likely to be killed in the process of an armed robbery or carjacking, for instance....

I can't rate her back up.<br /><br />You can help by not giving attention to the trolls. If you see one, just report it to Staff (using the Feedback link at the bottom of the page) and let us deal with it. The more you try to fight them, the more they will try to fight you. Wed, 01 Aug 2007 18:04:55 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1166260 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1165741 I've got over 10 negative ratings, did I do anything to offend any of you?<br /><br />Huckapoo - I looked through your ratings, and they look pretty normal. It&#039;s normal to get the occasional negative rating because someone disagrees with your answers. It isn&#039;t a troll, so please don&#039;t be concerned.

Someone just rated me -3 like 20 times!<br /><br />I just looked through your ratings, and they look pretty good.

I am very, very glad that AB has given people a way to channel and exchange so much positive energy!

We do this to allow people to see only the types of questions they're really interested in. If you're here to chat or meet people, the "conversational" questions are for you, but if you're here to...

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 11:42:20 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1128866 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1128530 If you go on AB and make funny comments about yourself in someone else's post and you get ridiculed and your posts are removed as offensive, isn't this proof that people need to just lighten up?<br /><br />It's hard to tell, but I'd say it is proof that something you're doing is bothering other people and they are trying to send you that message the only way they know how. When the choices are "I'm the one who's wrong" or "everyone else is wrong", you need take a very close look before deciding... Wed, 25 Jul 2007 10:28:28 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1128530 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1124676 How do you convert cubic yards to yards?<br /><br />Technically, you can&#039;t really convert cubic yards to yards. A cubic yard is a measure of volume, whereas a yard is a measure of distance, so they just can&#039;t be compared. It&#039;s like converting gallons to inches. Perhaps you&#039;re trying to calculate something&#039;s volume... Tue, 24 Jul 2007 14:23:59 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1124676 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1107192 Is there a reason someone has been rating all my questions down? If I'm doind something wrong then tell me, don't be immature and rate all my questions -2.<br /><br />From the looks of our stats, it&#039;s the same person you&#039;ve been giving negative ratings to. So, perhaps you should stop rating them down, and then they will stop? ;) Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:07:44 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1107192 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1099372 Is anyone having problems with their comment bars? Mine isn't showing new comments, and they aren't showing up in my feedback section.<br /><br />We just pushed up a fix for it, and any comments you have received should be showing up now.

I appear to have garnered my first dedicated troll!!!!!<br /><br />Hrm...I just checked your ratings received, and I'm sorry to report that no, you don't have your own troll. :) They all look on the up-and-up! One or two negative ratings does not a troll make. ;) Wed, 18 Jul 2007 18:59:30 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1099262 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1089886 What types of offenses will land you into the Penalty Box and how long after you are reported does it take effect?<br /><br />Any offense that violates the site&#039;s terms of use (see link at the bottom of the page) is grounds for being P-boxed, but we also use it occasionally for &quot;grey area&quot; offenses, such as when someone won&#039;t stop asking questions in capital letters despite being asked repeatedly by...

I've tried re-sending the validation e-mail but no luck... I am limited, I can't answer any of the comments I'm getting... What else can I do?<br /><br />Your account is now confirmed! In general, please use the &quot;Feedback&quot; link at the bottom of the page.

Do they see who flagged them & why they were flagged?<br /><br />No, the answerer will not see who flagged their answers, but if the flag is accepted they will see what action was taken as a result (if they answer was subsequently rejected.)

Each stop and start causes the glass to vibrate. These vibrations are at the natural frequency of the glass which is a complex function of its mass and shape. This is...

(debadge whatever you wish to call it) What happens to trolls who are level one and have negative points are there negative ranks? Should there be?<br /><br />Currently you cannot de-rank. If you&#039;re nice, we&#039;ll keep it that way. ;) Negative points are only applied to questions and answers, not to members, so your overall points can never be negative.

(Google "(your name) looks like")<br /><br />Joel looks like he&#039;s just emerged from spending two years in the basement of Firestone Library. The young Joel looks like the love child of Dave Barry and Bill Gates. Thu, 12 Jul 2007 15:00:10 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1075757 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1074936 I asked:"It's Tues 7/10/07 & here in NYC, its 89 degrees, feeling like 92 at 4pm(feels hotter).What's the current temp by you?" & it was marked as duplicate to "What's the temp outside right now where you're at? By chick98 Asked Mar 5 2007 7:52PM" -WHY?<br /><br />The basic question there is "What's the temperature where you are now?", and that was the same for both questions. Naturally, answers will be different if you specify a different "now", but AB isn't really meant to have questions like this asked over and over again.

Putting your own pride aside for the sake of &quot;what&#039;s right&quot; is very noble.

Of course, it also lowers your risk of catching STDs as well, but that risk can be mitigated with proper protection. There are counter-arguments that say you need to know if you&#039;re sexually...

I mean it's not like you get points for it, so does it rank the question? Or does it not have a purpose yet?<br /><br />Check it out in the Answerbag blog! :) http://www.answerbag.com/blog/comments/143 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 16:20:17 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1071993 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1071766 My missus is playing Resident Evil 4 whilst I'm on AB - is your other half also seriously disturbed?<br /><br />Her passions are Bejeweled and &quot;Cooking Mama&quot; for the Nintendo DS. While those may not be symptoms, I would still say she is disturbed.

I&#039;m not aware of a policy against creating new ones.

I use the Canon A700 and have had very good results with it.

Why?<br /><br />As of July 2, 2007, our rank is 10,935, but it changes all the time. We&#039;ve been on a general upward trend lately because more people are coming to the site (and using it more), and we hope to continue that trend!

In your teens, 2-3 years can be a big gap. In your 20&#039;s 4-5 years (although 20 to 25 is a more difficult gap than 25 to 30), and so on. Of course it always depends on the people and their maturity levels - there can be exceptions.

There are people on the Internet who will follow others around just for the sheer &quot;fun&quot; of getting a rise out of them.

The first was because what you were endorsing was an abuse of the AB points system, and the second just didn&#039;t mean anything by itself (&quot;What the heck just happened.&quot;) Tue, 19 Jun 2007 16:42:49 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/995926 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/994634 What would you do if you got online one day and discovered AB was gone?<br /><br />Call AB-Crazytoon (Sunny, our "server guy").

And napoleonbag, I know your game is to try to push the limits of taste and our moderators, and I recommend that you ease up and try to post content that&#039;s helpful for other people, or at least funnier.
