@Movemorecommentslinktotop ... in that last Meta comment on the trivia question, is that link correct? It just leads back to my original question?

It seems when one of our questions hits the hot topics bar on the right hand side of the screen, it gets a lot of attention:

Q: Front left controller arm corroded and broke on my 2002 Hyundai Elantra

Chris SchmitzI was driving home, heard a crunch, and then my entire steering wheel felt loose and turned a quarter turn to the left even though my car was still going straight. I was about 10 feet from home so I finished the trip slowly. Afterwards I looked under the front of the car and saw a broken part...

That question has had almost 600 views in the past day, compared to everything else not hitting 50 in the same amount of time. I've seen other posts do this as well. How do we get more questions to pop over there ... or is it just random?
That control arm was uuuuuuuuugleeeee, btw.

If you have ever participated in a private beta on here, did it feel like it was a feeding frenzy going on? Lots of new questions with lots of new answers with lots of voting going on (like crazy voting) ... I just started in with Woodworking ... and it's crazy I tell yah!
 
@Paulster2 Ha, that's how they all start out.
It'll calm down in a few days, usually.
I posted the first meta answer on woodworking.

Q: New beta style is much harder on my eyes; looking for CSS overrides to fix

Monica CellioThe new beta theme has made some changes to text styling that I find much harder on my eyes. My vision isn't that great to begin with and beta sites, particularly metas, are a lot harder for me to read now. I moderate two beta sites, so access to meta is pretty important to me. I don't have an...

 
@J.Musser Thanks for that. It is a shame, though I can understand the motivation behind it.
 
@Zaid Yeah, not sure either.

Should I/shouldn't I give up on this? I don't think this guy is getting my gist:

Q: Is it ok having a bike without center stand

NoDownvotesPlzI am going to buy a bike: hero splendor pro classic, I like the bike, its not too costly, and everything is just fine for a low budget bike. But there is just one thing which is killing me, The bike doesn't have a center stand. I guess it would be really problematic when there is a punct...

I think I've told this guy the best I can that his question is off topic. I truly believe it is just an asking for shopping advice question. Should I or shouldn't I buy this bike? I cannot make up this guy's mind for him. Obviously he cannot make up his own mind. How should it be treated?

@BobCross & @Movemorecommentslinktotop ... In this meta post I suggested having a blog for the site ... I see a little glimmer of light there. My understanding of how it is to get started is through a Moderator. Is this something either one of your would be able to support and take forward to SE for execution?
@BobCross & @Movemorecommentslinktotop ... we also talked a while back about renaming this chat to something a little more imaginable. Is there a hold-up on that? Any reason we couldn't bring a little life to the chat? :D
General Discussion is generally boring ... Now, The Pitstop would be a exciting descriptive name :D
