Question

i know some people may think this is stupid but what if we had a hobby topic, like everyone can explain to everyone else what they like to do besides school

Answer 1

That's why there are chats

Answer 2

Its not stupid c: its been suggested :) being an athlete i like this :)

Answer 3

However what kind of studying would we do? How would people ask questions?

Answer 4

yeah it could be a good idea :)

Answer 5

like for example. i like cars. what if there was something i didnt know how to do but someone else did? yeah yeah there is websites for that but it would help multiple people out

Answer 6

This has been discussed many times, even with admins, and the entire reason they have refused is simple: The topics on the site, questions in them, and replies all need to be directly related to formal education.

Answer 7

I don't know...you would have to talk to the admins about this.

Answer 8

@e.mccormick @Thesmarterone the thing is that i have taken a class that taught me how to work on a vehicle, we even got hands on experience too

Answer 9

But I don't think that they would just want one topic hm

Answer 10

the topic could be named "Vehicles" so that way its a general view of cars or trucks

Answer 11

Yes, an if there was enough demand for an Autmotive section, there would be one. But the questions in it would need to be on Auomotives as a topic of traditional study and not comments on cars, sound systems, and other things.

This is exactly why 90% of the Music posts get deleted and why Music has been close to being removed a number of times. People post about the music they like, songs they wrote and do not want a real review of, and to claim they wrote songs that are actually by someone else. Chances are that automotive would be a similar mess and frankly, we do not need that.

A hobby or random or misc section would be even worse.

Answer 12

yeah I agree with @e.mccormick it would be a riot kind of like music...but good thinking ;)

Answer 13

@e.mccormick i see what your getting at now, people would use it to "show off, bash, etc" vs questions

Answer 14

Sadly, yes.

Answer 15

another thing with automotive is that people will eventually want to see what everyone has out there, be able to get ideas and try new things, etc

Answer 16

and get unearned medals.

Answer 17

i understand the medals part as well

Answer 18

yea It would be a bad choice.

Answer 19

but even then. couldnt there be a way to not give medals? like just that topic

Answer 20

nope

Answer 21

I agree with this whole idea, but it can be related to education like P.E. (any athletics) or electives (art, that car stuff, etc..)

Answer 22

exactly. i took a course at high school for collision repair, you could take like automotive, computer, emt training, fire fighting. etc

Answer 23

I just wish people wouldn't take advantage, you asked for a music section, you got it, and almost ruined it

Answer 24

exactly. there has been times working on vehicles that im just like "uuuhhhhh... what do i do?"

Answer 25

And sometimes when you ask that question to yourself, you sometimes have to look it up. But you have to go through a long paragraph, so it would be easier. The only problem is not a lot of ppl would respond, or in the greatest amount of time. And they might say the wrong thing, and you mess up lol

Answer 26

very true ^^

Answer 27

Yea i asked for an automotive section a while back but nobody ever really said much
