Do you think HP should take some steps, so that hubbers again start taking interest in the Q-A?
When I joined HP, A lot of interesting and relevant questions were asked by fellow hubbers and there was some great interaction. Now I see old questions in this section and the participation by hubbers has decreased to a great extent. Should some steps be taken up by HP in this regard, that is to revamp this interesting section?
To keep pace with the time new innovations have to be made to encourage such forums and question which provoke further to generate or manufacture new ideas. we can, at Hub Pages, start a prize/award/accolade/recognition for the "Best Question of the Day/Week/Month or Year. It will attract the hubbers to come with questions and every question finds a variety of answers.
Thanks wqaindia, for your response to the question!
I think that is a very valid suggestion and a good idea. Thanks!
What an interesting question, Chitrangada! I tend to forget about Q&A, accessing this section only sporadically. I think the reason for this is that I don't see Q&A "advertised" by HubPages. It's an out-of-sight out-of-mind kind of thing.
There is already an accolade regarding the number of times a Hubber's replies have been voted "best answer." Perhaps a contest would spur interest in Q&A and would get more HP writers to participate in asking and replying to questions.
Thanks Daisy, for your response!
I agree with you that there should be some contest, to increase participation in this section. I have received that accoload of 10 Best Answers, long time back. But now there are not many new questions being asked.

When I look at the questions section of hubpages I see pages and pages of silly questions. A lot of the time, when I click on "unanswered" or "latest" I see that the same person has asked ten or so questions in a row. I suspect that in most cases this is because of the fact that...

To date, I have been denied permission to ask and/or answer questions because of revenge? mark downs by disgruntled hubbers. I get blocked for a while, then un-blocked, then blocked again. Also some of my Q&As are deleted by HP staff without notice or a chance to defend my position. The Q&A...

All of us that have visited the question section know that much of the content there is of very questionable quality. It's difficult to see how many of the questions really contribute to the community or discussion on HubPages at all, ranging as they do from mediocre to banal.Of course, there are...

Has anyone else noticed a serious drop in quality among the Question portion of HubPages? For the past several weeks, nearly every question that is featured in the "my account" section has been ripe with misspellings and just contain a general lack of worth in my opinion. I feel the...

I along with others are tired of the never ending spam in the Q and A section. Some of us prefer the more civil (well sometimes more civil) Q and A over the forums. Please start something that slows the overwhelming amount of spam that has been there lately. Implement something that keeps newbies...

Is the Q-A section loosing its charm with less participation by Hubbers?Fewer questions are being asked and answered.
