Ask HN: Quality of questions on Vark plummeting?

1 pointsby MicahWedemeyerabout 15 years ago
I'm not sure if it's due to the Google buyout, or if that's just a coincidence, but I've noticed a huge decline in the quality of questions asked on Vark. My wife finally canceled her account today thanks to this final straw: <i>When will new Dr. House episodes air?</i><p>I keep getting slammed with random questions about video games I've never heard of, all tagged with "games". Be specific, people. To me, "games" means dice, some pencils, and a character sheet.<p>Anyone else seeing this phenomenon, or am I just being a "I was here first" curmudgeon?

If "games" mean "dice, pencil, and character sheet" then it's not Vark with the problem. It's you.<p>I'm an ttRPG designer/developer and even <i>I</i> am aware that ttRPG's are the smallest niche in gaming.
