    Have you noticed?

    That people are spending less time here.
    Do you think something needs to be done about all the dumb questions on here or people are going to lose interest?

    i think the chater picks up here at night (est) as well as the quality of the questions...
    Most of my time on here is when I'm obviously not committed to a project or the weather prevents any outside chores. Evenings are good time for me to hang here. As far as losing interest, I don't feel that way. Stupid questions, I avoid, as well as tech support questions.
    I haven't been here as much because I started a part time job, but I think there are some times where it seem like very few people are here.

    Yes, I think there are a lot of repeat questions, and some that aren't very interesting as well. You always see this question,"How do I get my favorites back, along with a few dozen other computer questions. So it's a mixture of lack of interest, people being busier, and dull questions sometimes. I have to agree with you.
    I've noticed after 5pm EST the questions seem to get somewhat better.
    Sometimes I do get tired of some of the goofy offbeat jibberish that some of the younger set sometimes launches on us boomers trying to baffle us with their brillant Baby Brained Bull Poo , Silly Kids to be Ignored
    Well maybe it's just that summer is almost here and more people are spending time enjoying the warmer temps and out in the garden.

    Yo Randy. I'm returning after a little time away and I agree with you pal. 90% of these questions can be answered on Google. I also notice that the majority of the new questions are asked by people with 0 karma who signed up that day...interesting. I think that this site has been programmed to automatically makeup a new "user name" and spit out a new question every 2-3 minutes. Many of these names are never seen again. ?????
    From what I've seen lately, if all the dumb questions were removed, there would be no questions. I have to limit what I do remove just for this fact alone. The ones I do remove are the complete unanswerable ones. Some still slip by but those the people on at the time just have fun with.

    It's patience facebook. :)

    I close-up shop kind of early (10:00 p.m.)so I answer most questions during the day. Some questions could not possible be for real. I don't like to open them. I did once and the question was from a real jerk. Colleen cut him off but good and I told him a few choice words myself.

    It doesn't seem that people are losing interest in this site. I hope people don't lose interest. I really enjoy this. I just don't know any of the technical questions though I try.

    OK.got it,it's patience,tank Yvonne,what do you mean by technical question,is that suppose to make you fill less
    importance than everybody else?.Your probably better than you think,or your just pulling my leg.T.Y.LOL.
    I know I've been here a lot less, can't find any good questions.
    I haven't been here that long so I can't really comment. However I don't think you have to be a genius to work out whats what and whats not. But all in all I really enjoy this site.
    I've lost interest, won't be here nearly as much as I was, will check in 2-3 times a day to see if I can find a good question to answer and to see how my friends are doing.
    Guess we are more busy this time of year.
    At least the ones with good questions.........lol
