As simple as this page may seem, people seem to be clueless as of how to use it properly.

What is a question?
A question is something a person asks when they don't understand something. Why am I stating this? Because I want to make that clear, as some people don't seem to understand that.

proper question
Is the white wolf Aniu?

That is a proper question. The author of the question is asking a question about the movies.

In proper question
Who do you like better? Steele or Kaltag?

I see these kinds of questions mostly on LKS, but these are not questions, this is asking for an opinion. See the difference? These are the kinds of questions that belong as a forum topic.

Off topic questions
Asking a question to as of why your computer isn't working properly really doesn't belong on AS. There may be some knowledgeable people on here, but this really isn't the best place to ask. In a scenario like that, you should be asking on a site like Yahoo answers, or taking your computer in be be analyzed by a professional.

PLZZZZ HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
I'll be blunt here, but making a title like that makes you look like a complete n00b. Your titles should be about the question you're asking. This also helps other people who are looking for the same question to find the answer they're looking for.

Common questions
I can guarantee that the question that you want to ask as been asked in the last five or six years. Especially ones that involve on how to send something to the site, or how to upload an avatar. Use the search bar on the questions page, it's there for a reason. I also suggest using the search on the site bar. I've noticed that the search bar on the questions page doesn't always pick everything up. The last thing you can do is check the FAQ page.

No answer questions
Asking what happened to Steele at the end of the movie is a complete waste of everyone's time. The only person who can answer that question is you. It's all a matter of your opinion.

Thanks for reading!

Is 'Why is steet so inactive on any site other than Talespin Source?' a legitimate question?
