"Tube8 is a porn site."

Gold has become worthless, at least in askville. Will people stay with countless other similar sites they could go to? Will gold become worth something again? Did you come to askville for the gold? Will you stay if it never gains value?

Use regular topics unless the question is actually about askville bonus questions. That is my suggestion for what to do next. Anyone in agreement?

This morning's count (topic page method):
Questions Needing Answers: 1,601,300
Questions With Answers: 26,400
Total: 1,627,700

I was late with the totals last week, so this means we've had nearly 60,000 new ones added in only the last 4 days. 695 BQs have been answered and closed in that time, so people are still going for the easy gold.

Seeing what transpired over the weekend, I am calling on the Askville Team to come clean about these things. Enough is enough.

askville to ask questions and answer questions? Do you think someone else will come up with a site that is for that, not necessarily for 'selling' things like Amazon does but just to be able to ask any questions and get answers to them whether they are retail related or not?

How many would like a site like this? Or are you one of those that is real good at 'surfing' or 'googleing' the internet and would prefer not to use it? For those that are GOOD at finding your answer to what you want to know, WHAT happens when you come across something YOU CAN'T find the answer too? What do you do then? Give up? or ???

What about a site that would let you give 'helpful' tips on different subjects, for example good examples of 'how to search or Google for a information needed or wanted from the internet, or helpful household tips or secrets you have about various subjects, etc?

Please give YOUR own opinion on these questions, and your reasons etc of why or why not You would like/dislike!

From the blog (http://askville.typepad.com/askville_blog/2008/08/community-guide.html):
"One final note: Although we love Askville dearly and would do it voluntarily as all of you do every day, we also need to generate profits for Amazon. Askville's business model is tied to generating revenues based on the content that is created on this site. Content includes questions, answers, discussion posts, and even bonus questions. We will try our best to keep a balance between maintaining a healthy community while also generating profits for Amazon."

Can someone explain to me how this can be accomplished? Is someone buying questions, answers, or discussion posts? If so, who? What are they doing with them? Is the attribution to Askville, or do the content creators get any attribution?

Is there some way that the content creators can share in real dollar income? Or even better, in reputation?

Yesterday during dinner my son and I started talking about the bonus questions on Askville. After a bit he offered this suggestion. Since the questions are being generated with a specific key word with many of those key words coming from topical news and popular culture stores, it is possible that the bonus questions are intended to increase askville.amazon.com rankings on search engines. Specific key words will cause this site to appear when an average person does a google search or yahoo or whatever search engine a person uses. The sole purpose of the bonus questions is to increase visibility for Askville across the web and it doesn't matter if the questions are answered well or not. What matters is that the correct key words appear.

What do you think?

Are there any other community-based web sites that offer a meta-game style reward system similar to Askville? Receiving some sort of reward for work is obviously addictive (see also: XBox achievements), but it doesn't seem to be very prevalent. Prove me wrong, please!
