Chicago Meetup Followup
Arriving in style like James Bond - update demanded
Maxpower, if you're out there, is there any chance we can get a follow up to my favorite AskMe thread of all time? It's been sitting on my links toolbar for months!
Please, klangklangston, tell us about the music
I was hoping klangklangston would, if he has the time, post one or two lines about each of the numerous albums he cites, either in the main thread or his own blog. I was concerned that a request for a self-link or major derail might be frowned upon in the blue, hence this MeTa.
A followup and thank you for two AskMe posts
A followup and thank you for two AskMe posts: here.
1. I don't have cancer. Yay! Recovery from surgery was a bitch though.
2. I have a daughter named Molly. Yay! Named with good advice given in another AskMe thread (pick something everyone knows how to spell, but few people are using).

Philly Meetup Followup

I took your advice, then took some pics
Hello from New Zealand! After getting some great advice in my newbie camera suggestion ask me thread, I decided to go with the Nikon D70s and 12-24, 18-70 and 70-200 lenses. Here are some pictures from my trip.

Followup: 5/25 catastrophe averted
BatshitInsaneUpdateFilter. Anyone who followed this thread and has been wondering how we managed to survive the predicted 5/25 catastrophe: You'll be pleased to know that a well-meaning extraterrestrial civilization saved us. You know, because of the succesful application of collective consciousness. Or something. Anyway, whew!
New post with more info requested
I was intrigued by thirteenkiller's post about the possibility of an impressive ancient pyramid in Bosnia. Now I see the story is getting some traction. I went to the original post hoping to add the link as a comment; but, it said, "This thread has been archived and is closed to new comments."
I don't want to FPP this follow-up. I want to call it to thirteenkiller's attention. I think thirteenkiller has already researched this once and may want to follow up with another really swell post (I sure liked the first one).
How do I do that?

Request: a way to mark our questions as resolved.
I'd love to see a "conclusion" feature to many of the askme questions. For instance, even if it's months later, I could go into a question I asked and mark it "concluded" and give a quick summary of what happened when I followed the advice.
Once someone marks something "concluded" it would go to its own "conclusions" RSS feed, which we could subscribe to if we want to know "the rest of the story" on many of the questions asked.

AskMe Followup
Follow Up... I asked MeFi if I should take part in a 40 mile walk. Thanks to your advice, I did, and this is how it went.
closure on this "mystery nautical apparatus" AskMe thread?
Can we get some closure on this "mystery nautical apparatus" AskMe thread? I'm dying to know what this thing is. Did any of the commenters get an answer from their emails to the Galway port people?
Wife pro,ised to read one scifi book; did she?
Did blahblahblah's wife ever agree to read one of these?
Followup on yellow gnome mefi post
Followup-filter: the yellow gnomes in my "art or crazy?" post turn out to have been neither, but simply an instance of viral marketing for a VOIP application. [mi]
Followup etiquette on closed AskMe posts
Don't get me wrong -- I want to know how stuff on AskMe turns out. I don't think MeTa is the ideal place for that, though. What about allowing askers to post a followup in their own threads, even if they'd been closed & archived, which would put that thread on a new page, like the "fantastic posts" page we have now, which could be called "resolutions" or "how'd it turn out" or some such.
Follow-up to this thread
Follow-up to this thread on contacting my father for the first time. With the help of my real-world friends and the great advice at AskMe, I went into this with eyes-wide-open.
I just wanted to say thank you
I just wanted to say thank you to AskMeFi / MeFi in general. I've asked several questions and usually gotten great help. Specifically, I asked this one a while ago about neighborhoods in Chicago, and I have an update [more inside].
Askme Followup Notification?
I wish there were a "notify me of follow-ups", especially on AskMeFi
What happened to airnxtz?
Remember airnxtz? He's the dude who came to AskMefi to help plan his eventual EBay scams. The thread is a must read if you haven't already been.
Here's the thing.. it's missing an ending! I want more! But where the hell should I post it? What more can be done? We did so much... to end up signifying nothing. :(

Update on anti-consumer movement
12dailypro.com followup
Since 12dailypro.com has come up twice as a question on ask metafilter in the last few months I thought this blurb might be interesting as a followup. [via]
Should I write the dead guy's family a letter?
Weird update to the should I write the dead guy's family a letter AskMe. For the many who were interested.
Followup: home theater askme nets positive results
AskMeFi followup - nearly 4 months ago, I asked this question about home theater searching. Ultimately, the guidance from that thread led me to save up for and purchase an appropriate unit. Once I got the DVD player to output the right Dolby variant, we've been basking in good sound. Thanks, Civil_Disobediant and misterbrandt!
AskMe Followups?
ponyrequest: was thinking, how about some sort of followup feature to askme? there are some questions that a few weeks after they are asked, i wonder...what ever happened? (mi)
"follow-up icon"
random request: there should be something like a clickable "follow-up icon" that connects old original threads with eventual follow-ups

for those who must know if Lee Marvin's dog gets Pernod
Not sure if we want to have closed threads updated when the included links go bad, but for those who must know if Lee Marvin's dog gets Pernod...
Was I really in the wrong here?
Was I really in the wrong here? I posted a question about my car stereo and I got a bunch of great answers. I thanked everyone and posted some additional information. A user posted a lengthy follow-up answer, which I appreciated. But then Thanksgiving, spotty Internet, and just life in general got in my way I didn't have a chance to mess with my car stereo, much less update my AskMe thread. (Frankly, it never occurred to me that people would be on tenterhooks about my Caprice's stereo.)
So then, seven days later, the same user posted this bizarre rant about how I never followed up with the thread. Was I at fault?

I won first place, thanks to AskMe
Results for Chili question on AskMe
Once again, with feeling
A while back I posted a wonderful video for a song called "JCB Song". It went down very well.
I found out today they are going for a UK Christmas number one, and have added a back-story of their touching song to their site.
Im guessing I cant draw attention to this no? I'm dying for a decent xmas #1 after last year's god awful Band Aid thing.

Abanadoned questions on AskMe
Abanadoned questions on AskMe:
I think one of the purposes of AskMe is to provide an archive of solutions. Too often, even though the questions are answered by the community, the asker doesn't bother to report back, or forgets about the question. [more inside]

AskMe following on kidney stones
FollowUpFilter: A few weeks back, I mentioned in AskMe that I was diagnosed with a few rather large kidney stones, and many people in the thread gave me some very useful information, and mentioned that the first course of treatment would be lithotripsy, which it was. From there, the plot thickens. [MI]
Follow-up to my car question.
AskMeFollowUpFilter: At least one person was curious about which car I would buy. Results Inside.

I apologize in advance for the utter suckiness of the interface - I uploaded most of these shots to Flickr on Tuesday, and they're still not viewable there. So I have managed to scrape together this patchwork system. HTML artiste, I am not.

Let OP update closed posts in AskMe
This is perhaps indulgent, but it would be potentially useful in ask.mefi if the instigator of the thread could post just once after the thread has been frozen. Some questions resolve after several months, and it would be a possible benefit for those googling for information to see closure, i.e. "this is what ended up working the best, x was right" or what have you. Perhaps this is just imposing a false narrative closure on messy reality.

Photos from the London meetup. A fabulous time was had by all. Many thanks to keijo for coordinating.
Lumpy Kitty Followup
I really don't know where to put this...
Mefites asked for an update on my lumpy kitty question. Unfortunately, the lumps in question were caused by Cutaneous Lymphosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. (My vet has only seen it 3 times in her 20 years of practice.) After the lumps appeared, she fell ill, and ultimately had to be euthanized two weeks ago.
I just wanted to pass the news along, and thank you all for the suggestions and help in the AskMe question. RIP Qu'Appelle, 1993-2005.

All hail the inaugural Scottish MeFi meetup. Drink, steak, tempura, burger, pizza, chips and photographs were taken. Shout-outs were made. Return leg in August a dead cert.
Setting up a mailing list for shy MeFites
In an askme post, I said I'd be willing to set up a mailing list for shy MeFi members.
Mefite nudist arrested on child sex abuse charges
A freaky unfortunate turn of events: As an update on a very old thread on nudism that questioned and debated the gray area between nude adults and nudist children in the setting of a nudist colony, one defender of nudist culture from that discussion was arrested on charges of child sex abuse late last year (still being held awaiting trial afaict). It's freaky to go back and re-read the debate knowing what eventually came to pass.
