It seems I can’t even read a question before another pops up. And there are so many questions being asked that some questions only get 4 or 5 answers before it is pushes on down to page 2! Do you mind if your question doesn’t get answers?
Or do you think it is a good thing that there are more and more questions? Is fluther more interesting with more questions?

It depends on the quality of the questions. Also, if the site isn’t popular, it can’t survive economically.
I have not noticed a huge increase in questions lately.
Nonetheless I do not think Fluther has gotten too popular.
The questions are what makes Fluther. We have room for many more.
Its not too popular yet. No one I talk to every day is on it. I do know several people on here, but they all live far away.
Social networking sites always have a surge of new users in the summer when school is out.
As soon as I start seeing people I know, then I’ll consider it “too popular”.
Nothing wrong with questions coming in fast and quick. There usually aren’t too many questions per day, and it takes no great effort to click on those questions you’re interested in and read them. Besides, there’s a good variety on here which I appreciate.
However, I hate it when there’s a question I’d love to answer, only to find out that 15 people have already answered before me. Bleaghs.
Use the My Fluther feature.
From what I can gather, the Fluther Gods want more users, which is why they invented the Badge thingy. The more people who put the badge on their blogs and such, the more new members we will see.
I can’t the badge to work on any of my blogs, so I don’t know how it much good it will do.
I see the same Flutherires so I don’t think it’s that popular! I like a choice in the questions. Makes me use my brain!
It really does not matter. Use it for you and you alone and it will remain popular only for you.
No, I don’t believe it has. It’s nice and comfortable the way it is right now. A mixed variety of questions helps to keep the site interesting and stimulating.
Fluthers popular in the eye of the….blogger. More questions mean more creativity. I really enjoy seeing people with low lurve “scores”, and seeing what type of questions they ask (since they are newbies to Fluther). Some are mundain, but that is a given. THE MORE, THE MORE MYSTERIOUS I THINK.
In addition to using the “My Fluther” feature, use “Questions for You” to see questions filtered for you on the basis of your list of interests in your profile and the tags associated with questions you have responded to in the past. Responding to a question with certain topic tags steers more such questions to you; choosing “Not Interested” (as opposed to “Remove”) reduces the likelihood of your receiving questions on that topic. Or at least this is the way I understand it.
Enhancement I would like to see someday: a “never show me questions from this person” button, perhaps on the profile page. I’d like those questions filtered out of my view of the main page and never included in “Questions for You.”
It sure seems like it today (Tuesday). Have you noticed all the questions? I have only a few minutes here and there to check alerts today and I can barely keep up.
It is the influx from Lifehacker! Cool huh?
@Jeruba We were featured as a story on Lifehacker! Now many of the brilliant minds from there are visiting us and checking us out!
It is very cool!
@Dog That would explain it. Thank you! Was this today?They seem to be a polite group. Cool!
@jonsblond They are not only polite but they have interesting questions!
