    After looking at what could be added to this already good forum it came to me that we don't have an ask me anything sub forum. what this will basically be is a sub forum where everyone could ask the thread starter anything as long as it's obviously not offensive. Also people could not only be stuck answering things normal they could also start ask threads in character or as I did on another forum a thread both in and out of character. So someone could post an ask thread involving both themselves and pinkie pie which could involve some hilarious conversations between them.

    Here's a example of a in and out of character thread to show how it could work:

    well, I think it's great idea. It could help bring people on forum closer together.

    I myself am against this idea. This doesn't seem like it'd be something suited for the forums but more of something suited for the blogs section instead, and considering that's not nearly as used as the forum I don't want to drag away traffic from it.

    I am welcome to other opinions though.

    Edit: This is excluding art-based ask threads of course.

    To be honest i don't really think we need an actual sub-forum for it, but that's just me.

    I think it'd be nice to have a place for those "Ask Me Anything" types going on down in Forum Games or where ever it is based currently. That way people could collaborate on ideas and find each other more easily to have intertwining stories?

    I don't really think this is a blog thing looking at most of the blogs they aren't really AMA's they are mainly used to say and talk about things that day/week.

    People don't pay as much attention to blogs as they do forum sections. I'd say go for it.

    I like this idea; it sounds like a very good way to help people get to know each other.

    The ask me subforum will be added sometime this week. So with that said, I suppose this can be locked. If you have any further suggestions or questions about this, send Mike a message as he's the one who'll be adding the new forum.
