Frequently Asked Questions
What's it all about?
This site takes inspiration from File-Swap.
So I guess that's the Grand Daddy.
You should check out the b3ta newsletter also.
Can I read other peoples questions?
Yes! I've made a page here.
What get asked the most?
By far the most popular questions are;
- 'What is the meaning of life?'. To which some smarty
pants will reply '42'. Please don't ask it!
- How much wood would a woodchuck chuck...
- Why is the sky Blue?
- Does a falling tree make a sound if theres no one round to hear it?
- Why do you never see baby pidgeons?
- Why do men have nipples?
- Why do birds suddenly appear, everytime you are near?
How do questions appear on the Featured Page?
If I read a question/answer that I like, it goes on. I realise that while I am sleeping loads
of really good Questions and Answers go unnoticed. But, they are being kept in the database
so one day they will see the light of day.
Any Rules?
Well, they are difficult to implement, due to the nature of the site,
but persistent spammers/idiots can have their IP/email/keyword blocked.
On the whole though, I'm amazed at the quality and effort that people are putting
into this.
Please don't put your email in your question or answer
And HTML has been disabled.
How long before my question is answered?
Well, for some reason, there is a surplus of questions in the pot. People must
be asking, but not answering! From that surplus pot, a question is picked randomly
and displayed to the answering person. So, how long? Could be nearly instant, or could be
hours.
EDIT
I fixed this. Now, if the pot is getting full *bonus questions* may be handed out. If you
get one of these, consider yourself very lucky! That should speed up the response to your
question quite a bit.
Why hasn't my answer been emailed to me?
Firstly, check your junk mail box on your email client. Hotmail sometimes sends them there.
Secondly, you may have spelt your email incorrectly. I get a lot of emails bouncing back that
are spelt wrong.
What's this Leaderboard thing?
I've added extra ideas to QuestionSwap over the weeks, and the leader board is one
of them. It's not compulsory. In fact, the site works in the exact same way as it did on day one.
But, some people are competitve, so the boards give a chance to see how you fare against
other users.
Will I ever answer my own question?
Theoretically no, so long as you don't change IP address.
How do you make money from this?
I don't. Feel free to send me money.
EDIT
I have stuck some Google ads on. I'll see how those go. But still feel free
to send me some money anyway.
Why did you make this?
Because I was a bit bored, and I thought it was a good idea.
How do I contact you?
Send an email to adam at questionswap dot com
Do you freelance?
(Actually, no one has asked me this, I'm making it up)
Why yes! Thanks for asking! I am a freelance web guy who lives in
London and is able to make clever database driven things like QuestionSwap.
If you have an idea, I can make it. Let's talk!
