The "Ask The...." Anthology (Or, a list of EVERY major "Ask the..." thread that was ever made)

Idle_Thoughts · December 9, 2011, 1:39am

Okay, so…this is now version 5.0. I’ve made this topic five times now.
Well, really, I made it in 2005 originally and have just updated it since then with all the new “Ask the…” topics.
Still, this took hours. Not just one or two hours either, I’m talking about 5-7 hours over a few days. So please go easy on me if you see mistakes.
The last updated version was in 2008. I have added all of the “Ask the…” threads from/made in the last three years to the grand list, so the list is fully updated now.
It has ALMOST every “Ask The…” topic since the beginning to, well, yesterday, although a few aren’t here. Basically in order to get onto this list the topic must have gotten at least 10 replies. So if you don’t see your topic here, you may want to think back to if it garnered that many responses.

If anyone notices any links that link to the wrong topic or that are broken, just let me know and I’ll fix them next year.

Have fun reading!

Holy crap, this is the best thread ever.

Thank you, Idle Thoughts. I have a lot of reading to do. Shame this board doesn’t use a rep feature!

excellent

thanks

Sunspace · December 9, 2011, 3:05am

Wow! Nice work!

What does the asterisk on the end of some titles mean?

Idle_Thoughts · December 9, 2011, 3:24am

Originally it meant topics of the same kind (or even the exact same title) that were made by different members, but I didn’t decide to do that to the newest additions this time around (or even include that footnote). I was too lazy to delete all of the asterisks, though. : p

Zeldar · December 9, 2011, 3:36am

Amazing work, Idle Thoughts!

Something to consider for your next such project: a directory of all those “great threads” and “funny threads” and such that we’ve been collecting the past few days.

Fairly certain I said this last time too but thanks! You’re truly awesome (and dedicated - holy hell!!)

Holy crap, dude. You’re comprehensive. You even have my “Ask Supernova!” thread in there! I forgot all about that.

Whoops! You forgot my Ask the Lawyer who Defends Jail Inmates thread.

No problem–I’m sure it just slipped between the cracks. Great job!

MikeG · December 9, 2011, 5:51am

What really impresses me is that you can’t search for either “ask” or “the” or especially “ask the” which would have made this search much easier.

Idle_Thoughts · December 9, 2011, 5:54am

Yeah, I had to put all the titles in order alphabetically…and then skip over any made in 2008 or before (because those would already be in the list).

Knorf · December 9, 2011, 6:48am

You missed a parody thread I started:

Ask the dumbass.

To be fair, it was closed pretty quickly, much to my chagrin. Nonetheless there are, in fact, 10 replies.

Oops, sorry about that. : S
