I'd say, no, just to be on the safe side of the Tunnel Worms!

Haha. The limit is actually five at the moment. (It's varied in the past, depending on the editors, so that's not set in stone or anything.) When you hit the limit, if you try to ask another question it'll simply tell you that you can't right now.

Speaking of which, we're now up to 11 signed "Record Breaker."

Okay, I rustled up my sign-in info to ask a question. I"m not sure what that puts the current count at. 12?

I admit, up until I read this, I was unaware there was a limit on questions. But now I'm curious... is it a limit per account, or per alias? Because I technically still have a couple of aliases kicking around...

Although I'm not sure how I would go about asking a question under a separate alias anymore... maybe by switching my default alias?

ahem, there are no such things as different aliases anymore. Heck, there are no such things as aliases anymore. You have one account. Period. And you can sign your name with anything you want.

Fact: I have three aliases (probably left over from the old system). You probably do too, as a former writer. Check your user profile and there will probably be an "Aliases" heading where you can change your default alias to a different one.

Fact: they still exist for writers and alumni. But they're not used for asking questions. For you and I and other alumni, they're kept around for bio's, etc.

I figured that was the case. I was just curious how the current system interpreted them. It would seem, then, that the question limit is per account.

2 more questions.

Aaaand....I just posted 2 more, I believe that takes the total count up to 16.

Yep, we're at 16 right now.

One more question from me. Up to 17 now.

18

I just asked 2 more, so that should be 20.

22.

Two more in. 24.

HEY, remember how everyone was going to friggin' stop at 20 so we don't literally die? Please recall that we already got our normal complement of questions today, plus this 24...

I trust your capability. If I didn't, I would not have allowed this. As the sole proprietor and operator of this board, I would have put a stop to it.

If it means anything to you, I won't toss any more in. Despite the fact that this was sorta my plan, which I totally forgot about until I noticed the count was up too high.

Does that make it better, Foreman?

Whoops. That's why I should always read an entire thread I guess.
