Even though it’s called ask 500 people, if you don’t pay to have your question asked, only 100 votes are made on your question.
Really?… I thought they keep it at 100 only for now, until they get a bit more popular.
Hi Crazydog,
Indeed we started off at 100 votes for free questions as we built up traffic. We now get ~350 votes/question and with some changes to roll out next week should be near 500.
Hope you come check us out again.
