Am I the only one starting to detect a trend toward less-and-less Questions being asked on Askville every day?

Whenever I root around to look for Questions to answer (95% of which aren't worth my time), I soon find myself back at the ones I've already seen--indicating what appears to be a slow-down in the asking of Questions (even by "new users"). I think that this may be because so many Questions are being totally ignored by the community (no Answers, and no DB comments), that the askers of these Questions don't come back.Is it just ME who thinks this is happening--or does it seem that are are less Questions being asked as time goes by?

Similar questions: starting detect trend less and less Questions asked Askville day.

Yeah- I would have to agree with you I think that a large portion of you seeing the same questions over and over is because Amazon made it so that the questions don't go away after one week without answers anymore- so of course you are going to be seeing some questions again and again that no one can answer. For example, I realized the other day that I have a question out from seven months ago that I had completely forgot about- it had to do with Questville if you want an easy excellent rating :) But I think that Askville is starting to get fewer and fewer of the "fun" questions- For example, I haven't seen all that many questions that have to do with creative writing lately. I used to see so many questions that asked to write stories or the like.So I would have to agree with you- to an extent.

There are a whole lot of really stupid questions, too I've noticed several recent trends. People like pseudonymous will ask 5-6 questions in a row like "Who"? "When?" - things that are just dumb.

Newbies, as you note, are here once and don't come back. Then there are the people (not newbies) who ask the sex questions which no one answers. And finally, there are the people who ask questions in such a slanted way that you know they're itching for a fight.

If you ignore all of the idiots, that leaves a small number of real questions. Maybe quality is better than quantity?.

1 Marshall, There sure does lately, if you discount all the amazon service questions. But I've been around long enough now to see an ebb and flow of the numbers of answers. Now, the number of questions that I want to answer is another thing.

2 Marshall, tell us what kind of questions pique your interest. Maybe one or more of us could come up with one you'd like to answer. :D .

Predator replied to post #2: 3 I mainly like Questions which are asked principally for "fun" reasons--and where a lively Discussion Board (which is where you mostly hang-out with your Askville friends) is likely to come up regarding said Question. Asking for product advice, etc. , isn't likely to generate such Discussions. I particularly don't like Questions asked by those Askvillers who are only trying to further inflate their own egos or start an argument, or ones regarding product or medical advice.

I also like Questions in which I can understand what the heck is being asked! This user has been banned from Askville.

Yes,ASKVILLE,I have a QUESTION. WHY is it that I ASKED 2 QUESTIONS, as well as ANSWERED a QUESTION..WHERE are THEY?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
