<< New and Improved(?) Rules >>

 

Rule 4 

"The best way to keep a secret? Keep it to yourself.

Second best? Tell one other person — if you must.

There is no third best."

 

QotDay Corallary: sometimes the best answer might be no answer

 

Rule 3

I will post the Questions as early as Midnite EDT (NY time) or as late as Noon CDT (Denton, TX time). 

If I miss that window, one of the other Quisitors please post a backup question.

 

Rule 2

Weekend Questions might span multiple days.

 

Rule 1

Have fun with all this. Humorous answers encouraged.

 

 

The Old Rules from Five! Years Ago:

Spoiler

1. Every day, or so (unless I am out or ill or something) I will post a question.
2. In theory there is a 24 hour span to answer that question before the next question is posted.
2.5. (Rule 2 is the most frequently ignored rule.)
3. Questions are going to be posted between 2AM and 9AM GMT (London time).
3.5 (Rule 3 may be the 2nd most broken rule.)
4. Everyone is encouraged to suggest future questions to be posted via PM to me. 
5. You do not have to answer every question to play...
6. If a question is TMI or N/A simply wait for the next question.. ..or post that you decline to answer (clues regarding why are always fun).
7. Weekend questions will take the form of  two or three day challenges, often starting on Fridays.

As I never browse the forum on a mobile device, I haven't noticed it was a thing.

I do not use a phone to browse the Internet.

Not specifically.  It annoys me that fonts in general are too small and the user interface of most phones were designed for midgets with microscopic fingers, making internet/forum access on a mobile device nearly impossible, if you can get past the flashing pop-up spammy advertising. 

 

Mobile devices are a great idea, execution of final product(s) not so great.

No. I try not to let First World Problems get to me (with varying success levels).

A number of features on desktop are indeed missing on the mobile version, which is moderately frustrating.  Not as frustrating as how often it'll refresh the page when you try to react to a post though.  Or how you usually can't easily change colours on your posts on mobile...

I tend to browse the forums when I get home as a way to relax.

.. well, there's another reason to prefer not using my phone for some things. 

I hadn't actually noticed, because above.
