I just made /r/IAmA, this is where the "I am a(n) x, ask me questions" should go.

reddit.comI visit r/AskReddit, this is where I ask the questions.

Yes, but this is for people submitting posts specifying that they would like people to ask them questions.

/AskReddit: You ask Reddit questions.
/IAmA: Reddits asks you questions.
Edit: More specifically -
/AskReddit: One questioner, lots of answerers.
/IAmA: Lots of questioners, one answerer.
...that hurt my head to write.

Fuck. I made AskMe for this purpose, and hadn't gotten around to promoting it :(
I like my name better

Why? Why do I have to submit to dozens of obscure subreddits to get to all the good stuff?
This is just needless specialization in my opinion. I really don't mind using AskReddit for stuff like this.

because you're on reddit, not digg. the point of this entire site is to choose and follow subreddits that interest you. otherwise, why bother having an "AskReddit" at all? it would be "easier" to just pile it all on the home page and avoid "needless" specialization.
also, what you (or i) mind or don't mind means little to nothing as we're not mods of this subreddit. the people who are mods have asked that we take stuff like this elsewhere, and having a coherent place for similar stuff is LOT better than spreading it back around so the "i am a gamer..." post shows up under "gaming" and "i am a doctor..." shows up under medicine. make sense?

Agreed. I seldom visit "my" subreddits if they dont also happen to be on the top banner. I'm not a huge fan of those questions but they are easy enough to ignore and dont need to be moved somewhere else.

Wouldn't a self.AskMe subreddit be better? Oh well.
7
It already exists, and was once made for that purpose. (check your browser title bar when visiting http://askme.reddit.com/)

That's me! w00t!

I made this one because AskMe has been around for a week now with 7 subscribers and zero posts.

Thank you, because I am sick of those questions. I award you one free karmanaut beer

What would you do if everyone you've offered a beer to, all show up at the same time? :D
12
That would be a kick ass reddit party. It would go down in history

Drankkit 2009?

I don't drink, but I'd come just so I could kick everyone's ass in pool. Well, maybe I would think that I could....
2
Do you play pool? I'd play you, if we were in proximity.
1
Yeah there would be three of us.
I don't buy just anyone a beer.

We meet again doppleganger...

Awesome, tell me if you are ever in Western Washington so I can cash that in.
2
There is a good chance I might be, actually.
4
Ah, cool. Where are you now?
3
Haha, not Western Washington.

I'm in Western Washington...University...

I'm sorry. :P

shouldn't it be called RedditAsks to compliment AskReddit?
e: I mean, it's too late for that-- I'm just sayin'
5
How is it too late? It's not like this new subreddit has been populated with years of informative postings...
2
Good idea, if it takes off.
4
308 subscribers in 7 hrs and growing. I would say it has taken off, we'll have to wait and see how long it lasts though.

I like it. One of the more interesting subreddits I've seen. Hopefully the activity keeps up.
3
Oh, and I'm looking for help from anyone who wants to moderate.
2
I just subscribed, let's see how well it does. If you still need help moderating, let me know. To be honest, I really don't think anyone will use it, but hopefully I'm wrong.
6
Maybe the trend will continue, maybe the novelty will wear off soon.
Still, it's a good place to redirect the AskReddit submissions of the category.
3
Make me a moderator so I can say...
IAma moderator ask me questions.
6
I am a reddit user. Ask me if you want me to moderate.
2
What does this 'moderation' thing entail?
2
Oh, pick me, pick me! Seriously, though, I have spare time and energy if you want my services. It looks like it will either massively fail or massively succeed, which makes it interesting. ;)

I am impressed by your proper use of those brackets in that tricky situation.

Just visited. AAAAAA++++ WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND r/IAmA is the funniest, troll-ridden /r/ yet.

Seems a bit over saturated for my taste. Thanks for cleaning up my front page though!

Initially, I read that as "I am a function a of n x."
Agreed, but I was going to come in here and say it in a skeptical geek voice... something like: ahem, 'You made a subreddit for people who claim to be generating functions?'
I don't think it would have gone over as well as your clean delivery did.
I did too, but only because I've spent the past 7 hours doing calc 3.
Spring semester was a poor idea =x
more like, calc 3 is a bad idea.
