Why do people who ask questions here often never visit the answer and leave a reply?

I think many people don't KNOW that you are supposed to (or CAN) choose your own Best Answer -- or that there is a time limit to do so. From many of the questions you see, often folks don’t bother to read the rules or figure out how things work on here. They just jump in and start asking "silly" questions and let them expire by default. It's a shame, but how can you truly "play the game" if you don't learn the rules first?

Others simply forget, or have no time to return until too late.

But that is why I belong to the Yahoo Group, TieBusters! We are a group dedicated to voting for all those OLD tied questions. The link to the group is on my profile page (click my avatar).

because this is not a chat room and doing that is a violation. Suggest you read the guidelines and take the pop quiz
