Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

We have to understand that a Q&A worldbuilding site isn't going to support all things all worldbuilders want to talk about. We need to focus on what fits well with our Q&A format. One thi...
We would like to have more and more-active communities, but we don't just want to create a bunch of communities and hope people will use them. (Some of our early ones have failed to thrive.) This...
I live in the US midwest (we have all four seasons). Most houses here use natural gas for heating (and usually some appliances), and many homes are about a hundred years old. The main supply from...
Could the pipe be leaking nonetheless? Yes. I had a pipe leak (inside) that was extremely slow. So slow, in fact, that we only noticed when the stairway door had remained shut for a week or mo...
a plumber saying there might be a leak that needs repair If there are no symptoms, why would a plumber (or anyone else) think there was a leak? The only real concern that I can think of, abse...
Better is a Matter of Taste I believe the answer to this will lie in what it is you want your creatures to do with the flame produced. The main difference between liquid and gas is, of course, ...
Something that could give us a bit of life and community beyond information-based content, would be a way for us to share experiences and highlights from our own game-playing experiences. Arqade SE...
Some proposals include categories beyond the defaults of Q&A and Meta. We don't have all those categories here on the proposals site, but we need a way to indicate which category a post is int...
Tags are definitely the right choice, and I don't see many other practical options. Every tag specifying a category other than Q/A, should be a descendant of a "category" tag. I do think a better a...
So, I've been experimenting with this idea of someone with the power of winged flight. The details about said character I haven't fully figured out and might not make. That said, I have a basic ide...
After starting act 3, is it possible to return to the game as before? Act 3's first mission, Nocturne OP55N1, is described as a "point of no return", but it also states that all side jobs and other...
Under the US federal government structure, the judicial, executive, and legislative branches are supposed to act as checks on each other (balance of power). While judges make rulings, enforcement ...
I want to learn more about what we as humans go through psychologically to form what we call an identity. I know that identity might have a large definition and it is a result of a multi-variable p...
An incident postmortem with more details was posted on the blog (on Meta) today.
Here are a few ideas: see-behind: the user can sense objects that are hidden from view, e.g. someone behind a door, or things in a wall. Works only on close people or objects (say, no further ...
Standard approach before the advent of sheet goods was boards, sometimes set diagonally for better bracing. If they were cost competitive with the use of sheet goods, (whether Oriented Strand Boar...
Our website relies heavily on user generated content and power users that edit, curate, and moderate that content. Recently the amount of content contributed to our site has taken a nose dive. Loo...
You haven't defined exactly what features are part of "smart" versus "dumb". What most people consider "smart TV" features require a network connection. No matter how smart a TV is, if you don't ...
I've heard people talk about how mechanical keyboards are better. But they seem to be much more expensive than regular ones ($100+). What is the benefit of using them over regular ones?
There is a common notion that bonds and stocks hedge each other: When business is not going well, companies borrow money to make up for sales and investments drying up, and government (especially K...
For sample questions I asked, I elected to avoid the question in the title. My reasoning: It is redundant because the tag is already there If you clicked on the tag, you would get a list of que...
not having a strict policy of "ask your question correctly or it gets closed" This doesn't work well in a Q&A format, as opposed to a more traditional threaded discussion. These sites and the...
Oriented strand boards (OSB) are often sold with a blue dye on the edges: What is this? I'm assuming it's some kind of chemical protection. Does that mean that when you cut the board and leave a...
There are some acronyms related to home improvement that are very well known: OSB, MDF, PVC. Most people who know the material they refer to, know the acronym. In fact, I would guess that a lot of ...
My thoughts are already apparent in the question body, but I will also add this: It is inevitable that many new users will not bother to read the details of our style preferences. It is certainly ...
