One thing you might want to know is that the categories for the $100 reward change, especially the middle one. Previously it was for the most group ask questions. So nothing is written in stone. I agree with you about the most best answers being the main point. The survey feature is a good one and needs promoting and if there is a contest I may enter it because it is fun.

The prize for the most questions needs to be there still. This is much better than when there were under 200 questions just four months ago and a lot of them were of the "Why is the sky blue" type. So it seems to be working.
My first thought is that I would vary the amount of the prize. But on reflection, this is better.
The site is growing steadily. And I can't find fault with success.
I note you talked some into a reward. I would have handled it as a clarification request, but again I can;t quarrel with success.
Go ahead and post some interesting surveys. And have pictures. You never know what people are interested in answering. I would be interested in knowing what kind of surveys you could produce.
You are right about asking dumb questions. Too many of these will ruin the site.
I suppose you could start a forum at one of the sites run by the search engines. I think you will only get complaints and not solutions.

I had reffered someone for askpedia ( I will not disclose the name) and he seems now very active user but initially he asked questions which I thought were not to the standard of Askpedia. I very politely asked him to improve the quality and he listened to me and I am so happy about it.

Sometimes people answer your questions in a very rude and critical way even if you have asked to help someone you love and might be suffering with disease or problems. If we do not know the answer we better keep away rather than hurt the questioner.

Askpedia administrator should not include the questions asked in most asked questions if no one has answered that at all. That automatically shows either quetion is too much technical to answer or it is too substandard to answer.

Rewards are not so great to stick for hours to website but it is fun to answer the questions you feel like to answer.Also, I get immense satisfaction to compare my skillset among others in researching.

This website needs some improvement like to add more graphs and add pictures so that one can clarify in a better way.I am humbled with your response. Thank you.

I don't think the reward for most questions asked is a very good idea. Just like you said, if you really wanted it, you could just sit and ask all day. And somebody probably will. However, I don't see a problem with reward for best answers and best survey. I do know this: If I don't win most questions this month then I'm not going to win it at all cuz I don't have very many questions that I really want answers to left.

I do think that smopal is right about if a question doesn't get answered it shouldn't get counted in the total towards most questions asked, that would make it fair game. If this change was made, I would think more of the most questions asked contest.

Askpedia is just trying to make this site grow.

First let me say that I welcome you all since I am a newbie to this forum.
Absoutely, I support that no contest should be based on Questions Ask unless the questions ask are answered clearly to the subject and selected “Best Answer”

Since you always looking for ideas on this forum, do you know if there a previous verison of Askipea’s rules for this cite? I need to know the past...

Since you always looking for ideas on this forum, do you know if there a previous verison of Askipea’s rules for this cite? I need to know the past rules verisons that lead up to now. As far as getting members together on ideas to present to Askipea, I think if we have one Contact member to send our ideas to, we as members can discuss those ideas then submit to Askipea. Think of it if we were all working for an organization physically, we as employees would submit ideas to our superior.

Like Lisa said that Askpedia is trying to make this site grow, we as members need to do the same.

I don't what to say about it...
Is it good or bad...
I think it is both good for some and bad for some...
Like u said about the Most Questions and u said u can ask 200 a day... any one can ask more than that a day whether the questiona has standard or not...
But the question here is that what/who decides this standard...

Like u said about the Most Questions and u said u can ask 200 a day... any one can ask more than that a day whether the questiona has standard or not...
But the question here is that what/who decides this standard...
Just a few moments back I answered 4-6 questions(asked by same person) in a row, they were ques. of maths that were too simple for me...
So, I can say them as substandard, but for the asker it can be of standard as he needed the answers to the questions. (Here I am not denying the case that as the same asker has asked the questions...then what was his main/actual/true purpose/motive).
We here need some more measures to determine something for this for which I don't have a word.

Also, the rewards are good...but for asking many questions u need to stick to the web and for that the reward is not that much (if u are working else where too)

For all this, a solution what I can think is that the other users or experts can Mark the Questions as appropriate or inappropriate like we compliment answers.

Having won one of these monthly contest, I can't complain. I think the contest is a fun way of keeping score and providing a little incentive to put in a little more effort.

Don't get me wrong. $100 is nice but it's not going to make me sit around for hours and hours asking/answering question. There are better uses for my time. However, if I for some reason decide to put in hours and hours, it's...

Don't get me wrong. $100 is nice but it's not going to make me sit around for hours and hours asking/answering question. There are better uses for my time. However, if I for some reason decide to put in hours and hours, it's nice to get recognized on the leaderboard and also get a little extra cash.

You've asked a lot of interesting and thought provoking questions about Askpedia. I've seen the founder respond to some of these directly so why don't you just gather up the responses and send him an email directly? It's always better to go to the top instead of working your way up.

His email address is published in his responses so just send email to ysk@askpedia.com.
