Q&A website

A Q&A website is a website where the site creators use the images of pop culture icons to answer input from the site's visitors, usually in question/answer format. This format of website evolved from the much older Internet Oracle. The original progenitor of this type of site was the now-defunct Forum 2000. The Forum 2000 claimed to have run the site by means of artificial intelligence, and the personalities on the website were called SOMADs, or "State of Mind Adjointness pairs". However, modern Q&A sites usually dispose of this pretense, with the most extreme example being Jerk Squad!, in which the administrators of the site provide many of the answers.

Description

Forum 2010

Initially something between a satire of and homage to the original Forum 2000, Forum 2010 made its debut on July 29, 2000. The site, which began as a college web project by Andrew Chinnici, used personas from regular patrons of the WTnet IRC channel #watertower in addition to "celebrity" personalities. A check of that site in May, 2012 took one to web host aspnix.com, whose online chat representative said could provide no further information about its client.

The programme starts off every week with a "week that was" style run-through of the main political events that week. The presenter will then introduce the panel (usually made up of Arseneau and a political observer and a former politician) Following that Dann will conduct an interview with a politician (either in the studio or on location) and the presenter will lead the panel through a discussion about the responses the interviewee gave. After an ad break the presenter will conduct a more relaxed interview with a former politician or political observer, with the presenter again leading the panel through discussing what will be the big stories in the week ahead finishing the show.
