Asking Questions: Which Of The Sub-Categories In 'Yahoo! Answers' Are The Most Rewarding?
Q. I found some of the sub-categories quite unproductive as in many cases, the Askers disappear after posting their questions leaving the Best Answers to be decided by favorable votes. Such sub-categories, to name a few, are Mathematics, Home WorkHelp, Polls & Survey, Religion & Spirituality. For me, the Rewarding ones are Trivia, Words & Wordplay (in which I'm a Top Contributor), Quotations among other sub-categories & Mathematics & Homework Help to some extent Though Mathematics, Language (particularly, English) & Homework Help, General Topics are my strong points, there have been no appreciable GAINS / RETURNS from them because of the Askers FLEEING from the scene! What is your experience / take on this topic & which of the sub-categori [cont.]

A. Oh, man, Polls & Surveys is absolutely the best and most rewarding sub-category!! You can answer sarcastically and use your imagination to come up with random and funny answers that often get you the ten points for a Best Answer. It's not about being right, it's about being funny or clever. People in Polls & Surveys don't leave their questions to be voted on, they make sure to choose the answer that they like best. It's so much fun, and if you've got a sense of humor, you're bound to catch yourself smiling or even chuckling at a more than a few questions and answers posted in the category. Hope to see you in Polls & Surveys a bit more often! p.s. thanks for answering my question in words & wordplay! :)
