How do you think people will handle this new feature?

I would love for this to become an established FAQ, but you know as well as I do that the eejits will repost the same damn questions over and over again. I want something to detect a stop questions being re-asked

Like: 'How do u make a spot?????:)'
and have something come up stating 'Sorry, that question has already been asked'

Aha Cinders, it reminded me of WikiAnswers.
I think this is going to take off really well. I see it as kind of a Q&A reference book.
It's a great idea for everyone who wants to find out that certain answer to a particular question and with a few users giving imput, it makes not only more variable but fun.
I do believe in no time at all most spots on the pop will be chocka full on Fanpop Answers.
The difference between Answers and a forum is that a forum is about people's opinions,therefore very similar to picks. Answers would be closer to the quiz trivia questions ... accurate answers being given to a query.

I think it will mostly be used other than the way it was intended. We already see that with most of the questions that have been asked. Rather than as a knowledgebase, it will be used as an extension of the quiz (that is, people will ask questions with factual answers - ie, only one correct answer, and/or questions to which they already know the answer, such as "Who is this in this picture?"). People will also use it as a variant on picks (such as "Who is your favorite Friend?"), but that's less irritating to me than using the answers as a forum. This is the only feature on Fanpop to not have comments, and people will have a hard time not writing answers like comments (for instance, responding to other people's answers in their own answers, even though the order of the answers changes as people vote for best answers - <sigh>). All of those are wrong uses, as far as I'm concerned, but we're already seeing a lot of each.

I hope that eventually people who want to make quizzes and picks and comments will give up and use those features, leaving only the people who want to ask and answer "how to" questions, as is appropriate: questions with multiple correct answers.

When I heard about this, it sounded a lot to me like link, only Fanpop style. I was really excited, because I often go on Yahoo! Answers to see if anyone's asked a question I'm also curious about, and to see the answers. But since I don't have an account with them, I can never answer any questions myself, and I'm too lazy to GET an account. So I think people will enjoy this new feature, especially since folks are more likely (I'd imagine) to answer this then a forum post. :o)

I think people are really going to enjoy this feature and that it's going to get a lot of use. It's fun answering the questions and also very handy for getting a quick answer to a question someone may have.

When I heard about that I thought (after reeading it twice to understand better *lol*) it could be a great thing. I just don't want stupid questions (like "how do I get a fan?", "how do I get a medal?" those things that are in Fanpop's FAQ). Well, I'm already obsessed with answering them, specially 'cause I love finding out more about the things I love

hmmm it's hard to say how it will go down

i mean it won't be like any other new feature where people are ready and waiting with hundreds of things to add to it because really it's not that sort of content

it also could get confusing between picks/answers and forums as yahoo answers is often used for questions like
"what color should i die my hair"
and then people give their opinions and that could now either be a pick or answers thingy or even a forum

buuuuuuut overall i think it will really improve the site and get rid of so many picks that have those two almightily anoying options saying
"i don't know either" and "i'll tell you in the comments"
