[show more] I've always been amazed at how much information humans are able to garner from one glance at a well-done visualization. The large database of questions and answers, if grouped interestingly and evaluated on specific scales could make for some interesting visualizations. As an example, each question could be plotted in 3d space. Seperating each axis +-x, y, x we have six different paths a question could take. Considering combinations of three different axes that are adjacent, we have eight different quadrants a question may lie in. The color, size, symbol, or orientation of the question could give further information. It would be aesthetically pleasing as well as providing some interesting information about the nature of questions on grupthink if done well. The same process could be done for answers of particularly popular questions. [show less] 5 Comments	Vote! 32 votes 528 pts

[show more] There are a number of polls here already with a limited lifetime, some of which have already "expired". For example "Who will win the World Cup?". These questions have no meaning or relevance once the event (or relevant date) has passed. How about allowing an option to be set that expires the poll after the relevant date is past (say, one week, or one month later). After expiry, the poll gets hidden from view, or deleted. Grupies could continue to have the credit for their votes. [show less] 1 Comment	Vote! 28 votes 279 pts

[show more] I really love the concept of grupthink, but the privacy policy concerns me. This is a lot of personal data that we're compiling and the privacy policy states that "We may transfer any or all of your personal information should ownership of the Service change." Considering how much Fox paid for MySpace, it seems very possible that this site could be sold a few years down the line. I would never want this very personal data to belong to a corporation. I'm sorry, I really want to love this site but the users should own their own data. [show less] 1 Comment	Vote! 18 votes 229 pts

Regarding commenting on answers:
It would be nice if the comments on each answer were hidden by default, but you could expand and collapse them for just the ones you would like to see. This would maintain the current layout, but still give everyone the ability to comment on particular answers rather than the whole question itself.

Aoterra 2 years ago Grupies think this comment is well-said!

The one thing that this service really lacks is a sense of community outside of the Q&A core part of the site. I suggested user forums, but perhaps there is a better way to build community. Community builds more reason to revisit, and although I enjoy seeing new questions and answers, I'm not sure that this in itself is enough on its own to keep me coming back.

As features are implemented, it may be a good idea to "unvote" that answer so that the next generation of improvements can rise to the top...
