In second grade I was always the fastest at times tables and was generally rewarded with Smarties.

Also, what the fuck is it about the tempting #askhubski tag that causes it to instantly become reddit-ified the moment there's an influx from reddit? I swear that's the only place on the site I'm seeing an impact so far.

I've temporarily ignored #askhubski, I've found it to be rather obnoxious at the moment. But I have full faith things will calm down soon enough and we will be left with another batch of wonderful people! I know I came over in the last round!

Yes, that has surged. And yes, I know that I use that tag often too. But, it does seem like there are users who create things (take a look at insom's askhubski post, I'd link, but I'm in bed), so that might be a benefit.

I damn near started a cranky old man post and then I had dinner.

AskReddit was the same way until the mods turned nazi. IAmA, ELI5, AskScience, SuicideWatch, DoesAnybodyElse and god knows how many other subreddits were created solely to purify AskReddit in the midst of some fad or other.
