I think we should have a thread dedicated to each quiz. Number them; Quiz 1, Quiz 2, etc. That way, all replies in one thread will have the same questions, and only the answers will be different. You might say it'll clutter General Discussion, but this forum's been a bit slow of late anyway.

Anybody else believe that you find out much more about a person by how they reply, and not by what they actually say?

I was actually just thinking that this morning, I was getting confused with all the different quiz templates

Nothing to get confused by if you actually read the words on the page

That's a good idea. All these different surveys are getting a little difficult to follow in the current manner. Perhaps we should keep them titled "Getting to know you" and then simply add the next number of the survey (i.e. Getting to know you #14) to the new thread.

I wish I could transfer individual posts to different threads but the software here won't allow that.

gina was kind enough to update the first ten surveys in the first post in this thread (Thank you, gina) and since then three more have been added. The next survey would therefore be number 14.

.



Yes, and no. I think a lot depends upon the individual's posting style. The simple "yes" and "no" responses obviously add some info but much more info can be garnered by reading the comments that some have included in their responses (including those making jokes OR those attempting NOT to answer the question).

Regardless, I'm finding these surveys to be very revealing AND a lot of fun.

It is confusing. I am seeing surveys I hadn't noticed before. I know I missed some of them. Not so much taking them, but reading the replies. We are taking these surveys so quickly that it's hard to comment on some people's answers because we'd get behind. Some fun and are worth commenting on no? So many surveys, so little time. Life is a bitch isn't it?


TIS

So, should we number each survey here, or start a new thread for each survey?

I'd be happy to kick each new thread off. People can either copy & paste their posts in here to the appropriate thread, or re-answer them (I find my answers change depending on my mood; which in itself is perhaps telling of my "personality").

It'd be easier to follow the question and following replies in separate threads, so I suggest a new thread for each different survey. If you have another one waiting in the wings, it should be posted as a new thread perhaps titled "Getting to Know You #14".

I don't even know how many of these "surveys" we have. Have there been more than 4?


TIS

There have been 13 already in this thread.

Maybe edit the beginning of each new survey already done with the number, that way people can follow which ones they've already done, then as SC suggested do new ones starting with #14.

See how far behind I am.

I think a separate thread for each may be good. I have no idea if that is using too much space or a waste in terms of Geoff's/SC's job goes.

Anyway, to be able to comment more on each survey, be it joking around and teasing, (which I like to do) or just inquiring, really does give us the opportunity to know each other better, right? Of course, some may want to remain more anonymous but that's their option.

Then again, are there that many surveys around? (evidently so, I missed so many already)


TIS

Mick is already setting up individual threads for the different questions (Thanx, Mick). I'll attempt to start copying and pasting the individual replies to the proper threads later.

For some reason, I can't make a thread for the sixth survey in Gina's thread-starter. I get a UBB message saying, "Post already exists".

I see that you already opened up a thread for it...

Yeah, I have since. It wouldn't allow me to add spoiler or quote tags, though.
