Recently there's been a notable drop in people asking questions in the Hot Seat. Whether it's just that people haven't the time to ask questions or if they've merely forgotton about it, I'm not sure. I'd thought I'd make a thread where I could pool ideas from members about additions they'd like to see made to the Hot Seat but also, ways of drumming up attention and promoting it. All ideas are welcomed and any volunteers for making banners ect. would be very much appreciated  - Rich |

What if we changed it a little bit. I know someone who was recently in rehab and they had something called a hotseat, where the other members each wrote down one of your weaknesses and one of your attributes. What if that is something we could add to it. Say The Second Evil is in the Hot Seat, then everyone could post an attribute and weakness then ask questions. And maybe we should make a minumum number.
OR...
What if we have themes for the hotseat?!?!?!? Say you have five themes: Questions about: Love Life; Childhood; disney background; nickelodeon background; and school life. Okay, I'm in the hotseat and the members of the btvsfigs forum voted that my theme be love life, that means those are the only kinds of questions you can ask. Does everyone get those? lol.

For me, I really enjoy the Hot Seat, but with college, I rarely get time to sit down and write questions and read others like I used to be able to. I've missed some people I've really wanted to ask questions for like MsBigs, Alys, AA's, etc and then others I've refrained from asking since I don't know them, or because we've had rough patches during our time on the board. I think just as long as you keep getting fun and interesting members people will still read and ask. My problem has mostly been time. Maybe there's a new way to do it? Or... a combination of a few people at a time answer the same question? Not sure... I hope you figure it out SE! It's really a neat part of the forum.

Well there could be a set form that goes to each person...like a slam book. The same questions get asked of everyone...then people can deviate and ask fun specific things from there.

I really like ALy's idea and I like Had's idea of more than one person at a time answering the same questions. That could be fun!

That's a great idea Aly. I'm going to be working on ideas all week since the person who was planned for this week is banned. So the Hot Seat will take a short break.

Justhad's point makes me wonder if maybe threads should be kept open indefinitely. I understand we don't want it to become a popularity contest, but if people still have questions, it seems like a shame they only have a one week window for them.

I haven't been much of a fan of the hotseat for the last couple of times. I think the last HS i read the whole thing was Lacey's (SlayerLV). I don't know if maybe it is just because the idea isn't fresh anymore, or people are running out of questions. Maybe if it went on hold until after Christmas or something? Just a suggestion.

Afer, I totally get what you're saying. Absense makes the heart grow fonder. It may go on hold while I work on new ideas. |

I think there should be a manditory random question in each 'Hot Seat' like....
Q: If you were a pickle what type of pickle would you be?
OR
Q:If you become a non-conformist...does that mean that you conformed to the non-conformists....making you a conformist all over again?
I dunno...I figure it could be funny and seriously make people think what the heck goes on in this persons head! LOL *crickets*.....fine be that way (lol)
Oh or maybe a question about why they think Anya is afraid of Bun-...well you know...the 'B' word
**edit: I'll make Banners if needed**
***edit again: re-reading this I just realised thaty I have probably got the most serious case of Oddness out of everyone on the fourm***
