Coming from Sporcle?

If you have come to my blog via the cross-post at Sporcle, welcome. I hope you found my post to be informative. Feel free to look around the rest of the blog. (Except the "Sporcle Quiz of the Day"--coincidentally, it doesn't work.)

In my as-yet sporadic postings, I have touched on not just Sporcle but music, movies, presidents, and random minutia. And when I say minutia, I mean it: did you know that back in September, Japan realized it may not have as many old people as they thought?

Anyway, some of what I have written may interest you, some (or most) of it may not, but I plan to write a bit more now that I got a whiff of exposure from Sporcle.

If you find a post that you want to comment on, please do so. I like getting feedback, positive or negative (but not rude, thank you).

Getting Published on Sporcle

With over 180,000 unpublished contributed games, even if the Game Creation feature were shut down today, at the current rate of 57 publications a week (9 each weekday and 6 each Saturday and Sunday) it would take 3,158 weeks--that's 61 years--for Sporcle to publish every game. Given these numbers, it's easy to get discouraged if you have a hard time getting published. I know there are a lot of folks out there in that situation, as I have seen it in many a comment on many a quiz. There are plenty of things you can do besides lash out in a comment to increase your publication odds, however, even though obviously not every quiz will be published. (The above numbers were for demonstrative purposes!) Dig in below:
