Post show AMA's

Has any thought been given to how the question and answer format is going to look on this forum style?

I don’t know about anyone else but the main reason I went to the subreddit was the Q&A’s and fanart. Just a thought.

My best guess is that it would look like they did on the subreddit, just more structured and moderated.

I don’t know though. Guess we’ll find out for sure after the next show.

This is something we’ve been thinking a lot about and moving forward we do want to hear feedback on it. Right now there’s a few different features that can be used like seeing the posts that a certain poster in that thread (example Adam). There’s also a way to check question without having to quote or trying to find the post.

Sine this is such a stark difference from how Reddit does it we first want to observe and see how a post goes. After that we can adjust or build features that will aid in that. Right now the best step is to wait until there’s an actual Q&A post. I welcome all feedback after that (and before but it will have less impact without data to back it up).

Is there a Q&A category already set up for launch? I’m still getting used to navigating the site (on mobile), but I feel that Q&As (being probably the biggest “feature” on the subreddit before) would do nicely in a single prominent archive all their own. Like two-click naviagation from the main community hub.

Though I don’t know how complicated it would be to “cross-populate” a Q&A category with a specific show category, since they definitely overlap. Just wondering if they’ll get drowned out in the show cat’s with all the fan posts.

For now the plan is to have them under the shows category. Right now there’s not that many posts in those, since there haven’t been a show since launch. We will see if or if not it ends up being flooded or not with other threads. A possibility would be to move them to an archive category when the next Q&A comes up.

I’m planning to do a write up on all of the features that can be used with this community software.
