Maybe make a list of the most popular/most asked #askhubski questions? I dunno, sometimes I think people feel like they enjoy those threads because they're "allowed" to go on tangents. You know, like a conversation.
I don't think that would work. I want to PARTICIPATE when a question is asked, not read the answers given to that same question a year before. You know, like in a conversation. I don't think a couple of my askhubski answers are relevant anymore. I won't go back and edit them. But I don't think I would mind re-answering in a year. Things like "what are you looking forward too" change, and when the question is asked it allows me to think about it again and reevaluate. And see how the answer changed for the names that are getting more and more familiar here. And then discuss. I would probably be anoyed at that question being asked every month or two. But once in a while, I don't mind.
Here's the thing: people go back and respond to old threads all the time. Besides, that way, people could more easily come up with a follow-up thread for one that interested them. Like, "What are you looking forward to? (Updates from xx/xx/xxxx, new responses welcome)". Now, now, no need to be snarky.I don't think that would work.

oups, didn't mean to be. I'm sorry. Maybe it's just me but I doubt I would do either of the things you propose. Posting a new update similar question? Well I don't like posting in askhubski much and seeing the responses to refugee's question makes me want to post even less. Answering to a question is just...easier. Answer to an old post? well...maybe but i'd feel a bit wierd doing that. I'm not even sure I can say why. I'll think on that, maybe if I figure out why it feels wierd i'll rethink my position.Now, now, no need to be snarky.
:) I'm not saying I have the answer, but it's an idea and I put it forward. I understand that what I'm suggesting requires a more active user than a reactive user, but personally that's the kind of online community I'm looking for and interested in being a part of.
