Why leave questions.....?

Question

....open for four days?
Why not just give best answer after the 4 hour post time?
I mean they just get lost after only 15 minutes anyway.

Answer 1

because you never know. somebody could dig that question from under dusty daydreams and bingo, here comes the best answer. hehe...

Answer 2

I noticed a lot of the regulars, or the "Top Contributors" has to award their contact buddy's Best answer to keep their % way up.

I always have gone back to my question and read all the answers for the best one. Plus I rarely ask over two questions at one sitting.

Answer 3

I have gotten best answer to questions that were 3 months old. When you got any spare time, go to the vote for best answers on the old questions.

Answer 4

Not so, with all questions. Depends on the "quality" of a question. A number of questions even get thousands of answers, especially, the questions from "celebs," OR even those questions from "normal participants," which have high merit.

Answer 5

It depends on the category. In "Polls and Surveys", yes, they get lost. If you ask in other categories that are less busy, it is sometimes a good idea to extend the expiration, because answers can come more slowly and steadily.

Answer 6

i've received answers after a day too. 4 days maybe is too much but depends on the question.

Answer 7

I leave 'em for a day or so in case a contact or fan that wasn't on line when I asked might want to answer.They can go to your prophile and click on questions and see what ya asked.

Answer 8

I let it go a day then I get my 3 points back.

Answer 9

They probably didn't get the answer they wanted so they just forget about the question.

Answer 10

Yeah i pick one after 1 day, no one will search that far back to find questions!.
