Can we dial it down a notch in AskMe
How can we, as a community of individuals, learn to respond and behave better in AskMe threads like the one about the male colleague being "unwittingly pervy" at work? [more inside]
Someone loves to delete
I guess sexuality is a banned topic nowadays for me.
Sorry Ask MeFi users... I guess someone is being a bit overzealous with their delete rights. This has nothing to do with me figuring out myself. This is a completely different side to the issue of sexuality and me trying to explain the facts to it.

Metafilter advertises on NPR now? Cool!
I was driving home tonight and listening to NPR, when a new show started and I heard "....sponsored by Ask Metafilter dot com," with a little blurb about the site. Have I been living under a rock, or did this just happen recently? Is the Mefi empire advertising anywhere else, or targeting any other particular subsites? [more inside]
Please Hope Me Not Fail at Life
I've been really enjoying "lifehack"-type AskMe posts lately - questions about how to change one's own habits to be better at day-to-day life situations and challenges (How do I become one of those people who makes everyone they talk to feel great? from Chrysalis is a good new one). What are some of your favorites? [more inside]
Meet me at the drinking post.
I swear we've seen these Askme questions dozens of times before, but I can't find them. I'm looking for those posts about not being able to drink and how to cope with it. [more inside]
What was this novel, again?
Trying to find a comment in Ask about a novel, a lengthy period piece sort of novel, where the protagonist was unsure of relationships between other characters. Multiple family trees involved somehow. [more inside]

How bad would it be if I get snippy in my own AskMe? [more inside]
A creative man is motivated by the desire to answer earnestly, not by the desire to snark others.
Is there any reason why MetaFilter has to take Ayn Rand seriously? [more inside]

Similar questions on the anon preview page?
Feature request: When you preview a question on the green, you're shown five similar, previously asked questions. That's really helpful, and often eliminates the need to ask the question. But the anonymous-ask preview page does not do that. Can it?
Resolved != !stumped ?
Should tagging an AskMe thread "resolved" automatically remove the "stumped" tag, if it's there? [more inside]
Doing it right
Too many questions?
I'd like to talk a little bit about using AskMeFi but not MetaFilter. [more inside]
Married to the Mefi
A little shmoopy for y'all [more inside]
We're all snowflakes
I submit that it's not necessary to identify yourself as a special snowflake in your AskMe question. May we attempt to nip this growing meme in the bud before it gets too annoying? [more inside]
AskMe pet placement
Just to engage in a probably-futile disagreement with cortex's decision here. Yes, granted, I understand not wanting to get into the classifieds business. But this isn't trying to use Mefi instead of craigslist [more inside]
Let's all use and follow the "identify" tag in AskMe
Suggestion for community adoption of a particular AskMe tag? [more inside]
AskMeFi Story
I'm looking for a story about a person who slept with their best friend who was having trouble finding a woman, but regretted it because the friend lost their confidence as a result. It was in askmefi.

Should I use the candlestick or the lead pipe?
A MeFite with no previous history on the site asked us to choose between (what many of us felt were) two rather bad choices based upon a potentially faulty assumption. Chatfilter ensues. [more inside]
We've been had, or not?
Temperature differences as a deal breaker, serious or not? [more inside]
More evidence of AskMe awesomeness
The actual subject of a seemingly obscure painting identification question, turns up in the thread with THE answer.
Oh, look - "I sprained my fifth metafilter, and I don't have insurance! Hope me!"

A pony I can take out on the town
Would it be possible to expand the mobile menu on Ask to include posts by category and/or tags? [more inside]
Anonymous Ask MetaFilter, we need to talk
The number of anonymous questions, as a percentage of all AskMe questions, has been rising steadily over time [13 out of 100 today]. We were sitting around talking about this over email and what limits we could implement, when we figured maybe we'd just try to talk about it instead.... [more inside]
Is this really an appropriate AskMe?
I thought AskMe questions about illegal activities were against the guidelines? Is vandalism not an illegal activity?
Would anyone be willing to AskMe for me?
Does anyone have an AskMe they're not using? [more inside]

Please, let's just donate to the Give That Girl a Massage Fund
I have some lingering discomfort with the outcome of the epic Russian Girls Possibly Rescued from Trafficking threads, but the initial Metatalk thread is closed up. [more inside]

I wanna hold your hand!
This question made me wonder: how common is it for friends of the opposite sex to hold hands? [more inside]

Historical badassery.
The question? I need your favorite badasses of history and science. The replies? 87 and counting. There's some great reading in this Ask thread, covering luminaries from Archimedes to Margaret Sanger.
Malamanteaus? Malamanteaux?
Today's XKCD strip links to a nonexistent Wikipedia word "malamanteau." Apparently its only prior use was in a 2007 AskMe answer by ludwig_van. There's a bit of controversy on the Wikipedia talk page over a dismissal of MeFi as an "unused website."
Looking for an old AskMe
Looking for an old AskMe question. Know who posted it and roughly when. Do I fail at the internet or was it deleted years after being posted? [more inside]
I heard you the first time!
Multiple posting invasion in the green. [more inside]
Help me find this askme
About 6mo to a year ago I think, there was an askme asking for quotes or rhymes to put in a bathroom to go along with lighting a match when you are done doing your business. I cannot find this anywhere. Can someone please help me find it? Thanks!
Was it that bad?
I don't want to be the whiny "that guy," but I'm not sure what I did wrong with this question to warrant deletion. [more inside]
Alternative lifestyles are creepy, amirite?

Askme: Like a brige over troubled airspace
Thank you filter: friend in this question is now home safe with the re-opening of airspace. I want to give the most heartfelt thanks for everyone's ideas and advice. [more inside]
A quick note from an askme beneficiary.
I just wanted to say that the sidebarring of the ADD/ADHD thread changed my life, and to thank all of you who contributed. [more inside]
The harmonic relationship between chords that this progression contains are rock-solid.
I've been playing music all of my life, and I've never seen a better distillation of music theory than this comment. It's a full semester's worth of study in a few short paragraphs. I know it's been months since it appeared ... but this is truly worthy of a sidebar, or a book deal, whichever comes first.
