Random Questions: What is it?

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present version 1.0 of [DBTech] Random Questions.


The Random Questions mod is intended to increase activity in your forum, attract back old members, and encourage members to form friendships (and thus stay).

It accomplishes this by allowing/encouraging users to answer random questions about each other. The questions are settable by the admin (5 included in the Lite XML as an example). The questions can be anything from “What do you think {usernames} favourite game is?” to “Do you think {username} Wants a pet dinosaur?”. These questions usually serve to bring random people closer together, and have people communicate with each other who otherwise might not have. It's a great way to inspire closer bonds in your community (And, of course, having friends is one of the big reason people stay on forums)
