  1 0 There was an abuse of the voting system a few weeks ago so we had to back out a bunch of votes and recalculate the scores. It affected several users such as yourself. Sorry for the surprise. Marty Marty Unger answered in Whatever 6 days ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  Is there an official Questionland birthday?

  4 0 O My Captain is correct that he joined Questionland shortly after it was released in April of 2009. In January of 2009, 3 guys from a fledgling Seattle based technology company approached Tim Keck of The Stranger to see if he wanted to use their technology on his website. Well, he didn't really like what they were selling but he really did like the 3 guys and they made him really delicious coffee so he decided to hang out with them for a few hours and see if they could come up with something that he did like. That day, Questionland was born as the place Seattlite's would go to ask all their difficult questions like "Where can I find a good plumber?" or "Who's got a good selection of women's boots?" or "Where can I get a good Falafel in this town?". While the 3 technology guys were building Questionland, Tim and his colleague Anthony set to working on Questionland's style and character which they described as a "Broken Down Theme Park". Enter the Mushroom and Gnome. Discovered from the last page of Google images, cleaned up, and given center stage of Questionland.com. On April 1st, 2009, Questionland.theStranger.com was born and took off wildly. About a year later, Questionland took on a new home at Questionland.com and a new "woodsy" design. Then, in October of 2011, Questionland decided to take itself a little more seriously, moved the Mushroom and Gnome from the front office to the back and redesigned with a cleaner, more polished look and feel. The rest, as they say, is history. Marty Unger answered in Other - QL FAQ 10 days ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  Is there a reason why there hasn't been a new book club selection announced?

  0 0 Since "True Grit" was pretty light on participation we haven't been quick to have another one. Of course, we're open to doing another book club if there's enough interest. Marty Unger answered in Book Recommendations 13 days ago Answer and comment »

  Where's a good place to eat oysters?

  1 0 The Walrus and the Carpenter in Ballard has amazing oysters and has a happy hour where they're $1 a piece. They also have decent cocktails if you're a drinking person. http://thewalrusbar.com/ Marty Unger answered in Fish & Seafood 15 days ago Answer, comment & read 9 more answers »
