¿Question #590?
shotokanguy: Considering that this is a game site, why are so few of these questions about games?

imyourskribe: Lol how naïve
ocdspectrum: Ha. Noob.
Svengaard: People are silly.
magicman6173: geekgold>importantquestions but < aliens tap dancing on the moon while whistling dixie
Spirit of 70: Because Geekquestions was co-opted by undesirables long ago.
blindspot: I bet a plurality of them are game-related.
Woelf: Most of the potential boardgame questions were covered ages ago. We've long since moved on to more pressing issues.

PiHalbe: I am not answering this, GeekQuestions should be about games!

Polgara: because it gives all the people asking question, one more question to ask
coyotelaughs: see question1
Numskull: Because as soon as somebody asked a question unrelated to games, the tightasses thrust their chins in the air and said "Please ask questions about games." Naturally, many of us wanted to annoy those people as much as possible.
Thegreatrob: people being people
Geosmores: There are
ctrzn: Clearly because we are such witty people
fizzix: Physician, heal thyself.
DHEK: This may be a game site, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the questions on GeekQuestions have to be about games. It's like, do all things in the forums have to be about games? Can we not talk about something else there?

shumyum: Considering "Ask Questions" doesn't specify asking a question about games, why are so many about games?
geberus: Games relate to everything, this just proves it
chaddyboy_2000: Because it's more fun to ask people about stupid shit.

kennyb: good question
Reloaded: probably we all want to know what makes each of us tick outside the gaming world... :)
dakarp: This feature lets us get to know our fellow geeks. We already know how they feel about games--this lets us find out about everything else.

Aldie: People are people.
Critical Mass: too much of a good thing
kimbo: Apparently, the attempt to make this site a "community" instead of "just" a game site is succeeding.
