Guys, I think I understand why people make many topics that can be posted in Quick Questions.

A lot of people keep asking and people tend to ignore the earlier questions. I think people should answer first before asking.

I think that we should implement a rule, that before asking a question, at least try to resolve the one that came before you. That way, people won't feel the need to post questions as topics because they'll trust the Quick Questions thread more.

If this was somewhat directed at me because of my thread earlier, then what you stated is not the reason why I made it as a thread. I just honestly thought it wasn't a quick question.

Not just you, Steven. Just pointing it out because even I'm tempted to post quick questions as threads because people ignore my questions there.

perhaps it is that people don't see their questions as 'quick', I certainly didn't think that Stevens was a 'quick' question because we could have easily had a full discussion about it

That's what I've been thinking too.

Like it's hard to classify what it is a quick question and what is going to spawn a discussion.

For instance with Steven's thread (not to single you out man) like I could see a discussion going about bushings but at the same time he might only get one answer and then the thread drifts off into cyberspace...

How about before making a thread/posting in the quick questions thread, ask yourself if your question could be answered in one reply, or if it might need a big discussion on? If it's the first, then post in the QQT, and if it's the latter, then make a thread?

I'm okay with this idea

This wont work because not all the people who ask a question know the answer to a previous question. Anyway, I always try to answer quick questions that I am able to answer unless someone else has answered or another person would be better for answering it.
