Hey there,

Finally I did this, I launched my site. It's full of graphical glitches but it works :) Most of you know yahoo answers, place where you can freely ask about anything, don't care about forum etiquette, just think and ask.

So some long time ago I got idea to make something like yahoo answers but for poker. I'm still very beginner in poker but I'm good in web design, so I wanted connect my knowledge with option to just ask anything I want without replies like "it was written X times, go and search forum"

Anyway, I thought that cardschat community is a great place to find what poker players thinks about my site, I appreciate any feedback even negative but constructive :)

Well, you've figured out how to make things look good, not sure if there will be much content though.

Hmmm, I looked on poker category on answers.com and there some questions each day. That's why I decided to continue my project.

Yea it looks good, but other than that I don't see much use for it. What is going to drive the people who can actually answer the questions to go there? Seems it would just be a bunch of people asking questions that have been answered a million times over on this and other forums.

I went and looked there, and the questions I see are useless, pointless, and most of the time just plain dumb, or could simply be answered with a decent knowledge of Google. Sorry, but if you can't be bothered to go to a real forum and search through real answers/information, what makes you think decent/good players are going to go answer the random questions on your site? I may have answered a few questions, but am not going to bother signing up and dont use twitter or facebook.

Maybe good feeling when you help some greenhorn ;) But serious if this will get any good traffic it can be expanded to some loyalty program, where you gain points and exchange them into bankroll.

Did you see mahalo.com? They use mahalo dollars...

suit2please you've got just 5 form fields to fill up. Recall time when you were newbie, I think such Q&A place could be very helpful. Especially in times where people are lazier each day :)
