LW needs an Ask/Tell subforum. It would be a place for those geographic "Ask a ____" threads, but really, we could have much more in it; professions (examples: "Ask me about working at MacDonalds," "Tell me about becoming an EMS"), schools ("Ask me about getting a GED," "Tell me how to get a BS"), hobbies ("Ask me about fishing," "Tell me about building model airplanes"), etc. The options are pretty much endless.

I'm going to crosspost from a DTRM thread and quote sovsull here:


a. allow ask/tell topics on livewire and just moderate them
b. create an ask/tell board with rules and a single megathread for responses unworthy of individual threads

I'm personally for the latter option, since it means less work for the mods (we'd just need 2 or 3 mods in the new a/t forum) but either solution works for me.

Oh, and the idea was put forth by Rastafarian to make a group for this sort of thing, but it just wouldn't work;
- A general "A/T" group would get very cluttered, very fast, and pretty much no questions would be answered.
- Group whiteboards clear the older posts, so all questions and responses would only benefit those reading them then, unlike a thread, which could be viewed by a person with the same question later.

It doesn't seem like we'd have the same range of experience here that Something Awful does which would justify a forum like that. I don't know how many genuinely useful topics we'd get.

I love your mind too. You and August Rush should be mods. You'd pwn lol.
