Stupid Questions
Is it just me? Or questions on this site getting stupider and stupider? I mean, you should come to this site and talk about your problems, and try to get them worked out. More and more I'm seeing people talk about Myspace and things that they could really find else where. Is it just me? Or dose someone else out there agree that this needs to be cut down jus a bit

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who thought this. (phew!) I actually skip some of the questions all together-waste of brain power & precious time.
PLEASE PEOPLE, ASK SOMETHING WORTH ANSWERING!
Because I actually like this site and I don't wanna stop coming here.
Thank You.
Keepin it real

Well said DangerNerd.
My own observastions tell me that we don't have as many intelligent questions as we would like because the intelligent people who would ask these intelligent questions are intelligent enough to not have to ask them to other people in the first place. Most people who I consider to be wise, have this issue where they dont want to ask and wait to be answered. When they need an answer they will go look for it until they find it. Thus we get the self absorbed "whiny 13 year-old emo-girl questions."
I have also seen a turn for the worse on the advice side too, but I dont want to rant for too long.

Hello there,
You have NO idea what it was like here before. There are now more good questions posted than there ever have been, but people only look at the first page of questions.
If they were smart, they would look through the topics that interest them, all 10 pages, and answer everything to which they could add wisdom.
As for the myspace questions... yes, they could find it elsewhere. Some aren't smart enough to use Google, so they ask here.
Let me ask you this, if it weren't for questions like that, what would the people here who have VERY little life experience answer?
So far all they have experienced is wondering if a boy likes them, having miscellaneous goop issue forth from their vagina, shopping, hating people, being jealous, along with all the other things that typically happen with 13 year old girls.
Now why would that be? Because the median age of this site is 14.
Most all the people are in the same age/experience bracket, so most questions are identical.
If you want better questions, you ask some. That is what needs to happen.
The site also needs to be promoted outside of Jr. High schools.
If you are up for a read, check out the rant in response to another question like yours:

... Since I wrote that, I have come to this conclusion:
Nothing will change. The same questions will need to be answered by each successive wave of 13 year old girls.
The 14 year olds will answer them.
What I am working on now is a way that you, and anybody else that really doesn't want to see the oft repeated questions, can opt-out of them.
Now that I have the log-in problem fixed, it is time to move on to this project.
In all fairness, the questions that people who have been here more than a week are tired of, are being asked by people who do legitimately need help.
Many of them really don't know how the Internet works, so they find this site, and ask all their questions.
The same people asking the annoying questions, will answer other people's annoying questions eventually... then start to complain that they have already answered the questions before.
The irony, of course, is that they are now typically complaining about the same questions that they themselves asked when they first arrived here!
At this point, since "how-to" questions are so common, maybe I can create a way for you to check a box in your profile which would detail what type of questions you wish to see.
Myself, I don't have the slightest problem with an intelligent "how-to" question.
Advice is opinion, and I wish people would get that through their collective heads.
If someone asks what mix of cement/sand/rock they should use for pouring stairs in front of their home because they live in a cold climate and do not wish it to crack...
... they are ASKING FOR ADVICE.
If they are asking how do do something at myspace... they are still asking for advice. Advice on how to do X at myspace.
Fact is, the documentation for myspace absolutely sucks and I understand why so many don't find what they need.
Yes, they could have googled it, no they probably don't know how to sort through the crap sites clogging up google's results these days.
Some of the myspace questions we get... you should type them into Google and see how you would do actually finding the info.
I did, and was utterly amazed how hard some of it was.
In short, too late, things aren't as bad as they appear.
You can fix it by asking and answering questions of a different caliber.
I can fix it by changing the site programming to allow people to say they only wish to see X categories, or only questions that have naught to do with the physical plane, such as the love-life questions.
If you have suggestions, after reading my other rant, please use the make suggestions link.
I hope this helps you to know that you aren't alone, and YOU have the power to fix things. So does everyone else.
DN.
