I don't need to know... ::) those are the examples of the kind of questions we could add to profiles.  So let us know everyone.

You seem to have gotten the sneeze questions down pretty good.  But you could maybe go more in depth with maybe favorite music type or band, maybe fav tv shows?

^ What MasterXtreme said.  Maybe fav food?  All these would be optional of course.

Would you all like more personal options in your profiles?
I don't know... I'd feel like I was filling out a questionnaire on a dating site.   ;)

Might attract a pretty young woman with a great profile pic and some info there. ;)

I've always felt that there's something... kind of juvenile about large lists of generic questions.

My biggest bugbear is probably all those profiles and character sheets on Deviantart (and co) that feel the need to list "likes" and "dislikes", and then fill "dislikes" with transparently awful things that no-one likes, thereby adding absolutely nothing to the viewer's understanding of the character.

This generalizes in the BB / forum context in the form of long lists of generic profile questions that are almost always irrelevant, but which new users are inclined to fill in, out of some form of completionism (goodness knows I used to on other forums).

When I originally set up the profile questions (a tweaked version of those at Sneezefurs), I quite specifically limited them to the sneeze realm, expecting that such would come up fairly frequently, and be the most relevant set of details (e.g. if one member wanted to surprise another with a commission, or evaluate which way to steer an RP, then a little summary of preferences would be right at hand).

I ultimately struggle to imagine members regularly caring about other members' (e.g.) favorite color/s.  And if they do, surely the context will be a thread (or a "PSF Chat" point of discussion) in which everyone is discussing their favorite color?  But outside of that specific context, when will favorite colors ever be relevant?


Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go shoo some children off my lawn...

I can see your point.  I don't care either way really.  I already know a lot of about people and care about people here based on our conversations.  Little profile things won't make me care. 

Unlike other forums, a lot of people here actually do care about each other.

Yes this forum has a lot of caring people I don't mind if there more options for profile or not.

So what about special spoiler tagging in text?
