Where did the kooky name come from?
We’re taking that one to the grave with us. Sorry.
What if I forgot my password or username?

How do I customize my profile?
Customize your profile by clicking the down arrow next to "Hello, (name)" in the top right corner and selecting Customize Profile. Add photos and videos, list your interests, choose snazzy background, and customize colors. Be as unique or simple as you want, but be sure to add a new default image. You don’t want to be a three-eyed freak forever.
How can I find questions?
Decide what topic you’re interested in and search for questions relating to that. You have several search options:
- Type the topic into the Search bar
- Open the Answer Questions tab to search for Popular, Hot, or Recent questions, or questions your friends have shared with you
- Check out the Music, Politics, Entertainment and Sports sections for top questions
- Browse the homepage for featured discussions on the latest news
How do I ask my own question?
Just click the Ask a Question a tab. Come up with your question and include some answer options. Add images and video wherever you can to make your poll stand out in the crowd. You can add your media by uploading it, using the Google image/video search tool, or entering the URL of an image/video you want to use. These options are all in the Ask a Question page.
Can I make a poll private?
Click on Advanced Options before finishing your poll. This will open up options to make your poll anonymous, randomize the answers, choose an end date, and decide whether your poll will be public (viewable by all) or personal (viewable by URL and widget).
How do I get my question out to my friends?
On the final page before finishing the question, you can choose from many options to promote your new question. Import your address book to send the question to all your contacts, or choose which contacts you want to send to it to.
