Can we improve?

How can we we improve the Galactic Question Center so that it is more interesting, attractive, or useful to you? Are we asking the wrong kinds of questions if we would like to generate more interest in this Blog?

Comments:
i'd like to see it on something else than Blogger. with something as discussion-based as this, it would be nice not to have to leave the page every time you make a comment.

maybe migrating to http://wordpress.com? or maybe there's a way w/ Blogger to integrate comment posting on each article's page?
 
PS, i read Godlorica and The Six Thousand as well. so the afforementioned apply across the board.
 
I think that more discussion should be encouraged.

As it stands, it seems that most people leave a statement here in much the same way as someone leaves a gratuity at a restaurant: "Here ya go. Thanks for the cheeseburger. Maybe I'll eat here again".

I post here because of the small yet attentive audience, as opposed to a huge group that receives 600+ emails a day. My voice may actually be heard here.
 
Ask who brought you to your Center...and why you chose to visit...Would you come back? What did you hope to achieve?
 
Questions on controversial topics or pop culture might generate more interest but I don't know if the answers would be interesting.
I like answering your questions because I like to think about things so the way you've got this blog set up is ok with me. Discussions bore me.
 
Yes, anything can improve even humankind's version of God.. This site is great fun but contains too many hypothetical and multiple choice questions. Reminiscient of a high school psych-profile survey. These types of questions limit the field of response rather than open or expand it. eg/ The question about having everything one could ideally want but only taking a single loved one with you does more to expose the sociopathic traits of those who respond than it does to encourage intellectual consideration or creative response. The majority of the several questions allowing the participant to select only one or two of several listed objects or books would seem to be thoroughly American. A Canadian or european would have a difficult time finding anything of current relevance in any of those lists. I'd suggest straight forward, objective questions, which ask that proofs accompany opinions, might stimulate a greater frequency of response and an improved level of creativity and profundity.
 
Is it more important to understand the basic hardware in the universe, then the software.
 
I'd like to see some feedback on comments left by contributors.
Whether loved or hated it would be interesting.
