Forum "Questions"

It strikes me as rather silly that I have a blog called Forum Zombie yet I have not made a single entry about forums. Go figure. So to fill in that bothersome criteria we've got this post.

One thing I would like to see on a forum is little games. There are some around already but threads like that don't happen often. What I would like to see is a game modeled after Whose Line's "Questions Only".

Here's what I mean:


In a forum you would basically divide the posters into groups and have them ask each other questions. The first to respond would keep the questions going with the original poster until one of them slips up. I would give a time limit on how long you had to respond before someone takes your spot.

Now in a forum it would take a little more time in responses. Of course due to that there would be more time to actually formulate a question so you might see less rotation of players. I was thinking of a hard cap of 3-5 minutes before someone else had to take your place in responding. I would have to try it out to get a better feel for the best time limit. All in all it's something I'd really like to try.
