A few of my other hobby type forums are like this.

For example: What is Paddy's last name?
What was the most popular size of classic minis engine displacement closest to 1 Liter.

Something along those lines.

We could even have questions for the Bini owners (I make fun of them, even though I own two) like
What company bought the Mini name?
Who has the best matching floor mats (with credit to Bill in NC and his skunks)



That's actually a really good idea - I'll pass it along! All of the medieval reenactment groups on FB have had to 'go private' because of all the spammers and it's so much nicer now.

It just gets so tiresome reading spammer messages every time I check in here.  Thanks go to good guys like Dan in Ottawa for keeping vigil.
