Does anyone think that there are too many AMA(A) threads? I think it mainly started from Paril's thread. Do people understand that Paril started an AMAA because he was popular and commonly asked questions, not to answer the meaning of life with an overused answer of 42?!

I'm sorry. I had to.

The ones I've seen:
paril-amaa-ask-almost-anything-t263600.html?hilit=amaa
ask-almost-anything-famousi0-t266019.html
will-answer-anything-long-follows-pmc-rules-t265317.html
ask-meh-anything-and-will-answer-t265321.html
ama-ask-anything-t265546.html?hilit=ama
post2126780.html?hilit=amaa#p2126780

ZetheriteAs a redditor myself, I think this is a topic that needs to be discussed. Most of you know AMA's come from reddit, but an AMA is for anyone famous or special. No offense to anyone. Here are some examples of valid AMA's:

-I am a moderator, AMA
-I am a big youtuber, AMA
-I am deaf, AMA
Etc.

You also need to provide proof. You dont have to be famous but have something special like a disability. The point of an AMA is to learn from people who have done something or to learn. It's not meant for irrelevant questions. I'm not a fan of ranting but I thought this was something that needed to be fixed.

Well, I was going to do one. People seem to think that I'm popular enough. I have a few levels, a few posts, and a few subscribers. but this thread has obliterated any kind of reasoning I might have had to make one. The entire thing was perfectly fine. I kind of liked the idea. But if people are going to whine, there's no point. I don't think it's worth it. I do have an idea, relating to the Brony AMAA...

By the way, ReaCraft and kevin9ye, to name a few, did this way before Paril. They didn't use AMAA, but...

I wonder if I should make one on bronies, as they are really mis-understood, and criticized way too much :/

And yes, I totally understand what you are saying, and it does make sense. But it's not really clogging up too much. It's like servers, some will get popular, and some will just get ignored.

Yes, I agree people's ignorance. They assume watching a certain show and expressing an interest in it can cause a certain change in a gender I prefer sexually.

But nonetheless, the AMAs should make more sense with people who are sort of...different. But I guess it's sort of funny for the weird questions.

I think an AMA for the bronies would be perfect. It would give me a chance to ask people many questions, since I have been curious for a while now.

I literally just made one, but I guess any brony can put their answer for the question. Makes sense.

I think that the one thread "made by someone, and then a brony could answer" would be good. All though, It could easily spin out of control.

Yeah, people don't ask real questions most of the time. "What's the meaning of life?" "42."

BTW, I'm a brony.

Well, technically, "AMA" started spreading around when Paril made the thread. The whole "Q/A" thing was alive long before he ever made that post. Paril just made the title "AMA" popular.

For example:

This: with-sugarbean-t266282.html

Is exactly the same as this:

soup-ama-t263808.html

Just under different names. AMA is just another version of a Q/A

Where I am it's about midnight when I'm on the forums and eventually I have to go to sleep. One night I came across one of your stories about a car accident. It was a 2 part-er, and one of the sides involved the little girl becoming a demon.

Freaked me out a bit.

thhaaaaattt. Sure, mods doing AMA's are fine, as with people who have a large fanbase, but it's gotten to the point where it's gotten out of hand. Like the paril faces now. a few mods adopted the paril faces, now everyone thinks they should be doing it too! It's taking a cool, funny, awesome thing and turning into a "meh" thing. Isn't anything sacred anymore?

That has happened with way too much these days.

I was like 'eh, what the heck' when I made mine. I did it for the lawlz, that was it. I even gave it a stupid name that wasn't 'AMA'; it was like 'AMEEFNS' or something.

I'm close to touching the thought of being popular, so I got very little views.

Blame Paril for real this time I guess.

My opinion:
You do not need a page for a ton of people to ask you pointless questions. Just comment on posts, talk on the forums in general, or private message. I think it is meaningful for a popular PMCer to have an AMA because they are commonly asked questions. Not to judge people by levels like many do, but a Level 1 is rarely ever popular. I understand that there are some that live on the forums though.

TL;DR? Fine.
Only popular people need AMAs. People who never get asked questions don't.

ChronalgaHow do you define 'popular'?

In a Minecraft community ? produce a wide range of interesting works; be gentle with your supporters and write clearly ( and yes i think your probably popular enough to host a fun and meaningful AMA )


Thanks. Not quite sure what kind of a twist to put on it... Maybe I should be creative and not copy Duke_Frans (I get this feeling I spelled his name wrong), who totally didn't copy MissMarifire. That would be epic.

I think alot of the popular members of our community definitely should do AMA threads.

But i think it's not worth-while for unpopular/new users to-do because no-one will have any meaningful questions to pose them.

I think maybe a master - 'who should we ask questions to' thread may be useful.
