What colour are your shoes today?

Gordon

Not wearing any. However, I own black, blue, white and brown shoes, and they tend to stay the same colour every day.

I'll ask the difficult questions


Have you ever been outside and did it blind you


Seriously though

How long have you been with boards and what would you like to see changed?

Murphy's rum & raisin.

Hmm, didn't expect an ama on myself...

Coffee or Colpi's.

When I was younger I stared at the sun and burned my retina, and my eyesight was unbelievably acute for a few days after. I do not recommend this.

I believe I've been here since 2000 or early 2001. Not sure what I'd like changed, maybe less re-registering troublemakers...

I have no idea! However, Dav is interested in this and may have plans for the forum..

No, you know fine well who's they are, so give them back.

When was the last incident where something totally basic and simple escaped your knowledge? Example: Forgetting how to spell a 4-letter word, not being able to add something up, etc.

What question would you least like someone to ask you bar this one?

I'm afraid that's happening a lot these days as I get older, I even joked about it with a friend on Friday, saying that I had alzheimers. Then she kept joking about it when I forgot something.

Probably earlier today when I went into a room and thought: 'wait, why did I come in here?'

Weetabix or Porridge?

What the nurxcrumple data warehouse bot does when it's not auto-banning users from boards, that thing scares me, I don't want to get on its bad side.

Weetabix if I have to eat breakfast, used to hate porridge as I'm Scottish so we have it with salt...

I believe it can be for anyone, maybe Dav has ideas on getting his popstar friends on here one day, who knows.

How old are you?

Are you going to give the Hill Billy a chance to answer any more questions?

Darkglasses

How much time out of your week do you spend on Adminning matters?

Do you ever see yourself giving up Boards for good - as a poster and as an admin? How do you think that would/will come about?

Over 30... I don't like giving my actual age, as I believe people shouldn't do that - this is personal data that stays on the net for ages. But I'm a child of the 70s..!

I'm not stopping him!

I'm giving Adminning less and less time as time goes on. When I started minning I was giving hours a day, and sometimes until late at night if there were serious spammers or trouble makers on a mad bender. Probably only an hour or two a day now.

Yeah definitely, I'm not sure if I'm giving enough time adminning now as it is, so am usually mulling over whether or not I should draw a line. The worry for me is that if I don't stop adminning, I'm taking a slot for someone that will give it as much effort as I put in to it years ago.

All I want to know is:

Are you ALL Having A Lovely Day?

What is all this about?

I'm frightened.

jamesbondings

So strangers ask other strangers (or people they know) questions online......hhhhmmm

Is there any other websites out there where this can be done? Also have you heard of the advantages or disadvantages of such a service? I wonder do you know how long this may last?

This is an Ask Me Anything forum, anyone can start a thread and invite people to ask them anything. It tends to be more engaging and interesting if the person states their occupation or pastime: "I'm a pilot, ask me anything" for example.

Don't be frightened, here's your friend to pacify you.

Reddit started it as far as I understand, and there are other fora doing this now.

Advantage: learning about people
Disadvantage: learning about people

It will last for as long as a particular person is alive...
