Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

My observations
I like QOTW, and although it probably has jumped the shark, I still get a laugh and an outlet to throw up an experience, perhaps slightly embellished or more likely, a complete load of bullshit.
I have found that when I am in not in the mood for QOTW, that not accessing it works well. In it's hey day, there where less people acting like complete dickheads, the dickhead ratio factor (dickheads v non-dickheads in a group) has swung in the favour of the dickheads.
Instead of bagging it, post a reasonable story - true or interesting (or even both) and reclaim the board.
NB Trolls also contribute and if taken in the right vein, at times amusing, some trolls are firmly in the non-dickhead camp. Ignore the dickheads, easy.

the trolls and dickheads are not my issue
it's that there are no more questions left. seriously, this weeks question is 'tell us something that made you laugh' and the vast majority of answers are correspondingly dull.
i'm not going to get into the whole 'trolling' bit. because quite frankly, qotw regulars are ruining b3ta with their prissyness
