Increasing the amount of profile questions so we can learn more about eachother!

Michael Arnstein came up with the great idea of adding more profile questions and we both agreed it would be valuable to ask the 30BaD community.

So how does everyone feel about the following questions Michael has suggested and do you have any questions that you feel would be useful?

Also feel free to suggestion your variation on the questions below.

This is a great way to get to know your neighbour!

(Ofcourse it's up to you how many more questions you answer).

Hi Fruitionist. My 2 cents ; ) ... I am interested in how the person found 811rv? Why this lifestyle / diet? What the biggest challenges have been? What motivates the person to keep up the diet / lifestyle? Questions like "favorite movie" aren't important to me, but may be relevant to others on the site? Also, what diet did you transition from? (how were you eating before). Another common issue that comes up with 811rv persons I meet is: are the people in your life (spouse/significant other/family) supportive of your diet / lifestyle? Do you have a local 811rv support group? friend? I'm not sure if these questions are invasive or not and look forward to hearing what others think. Thanks.

  All good suggestions people - which I will take on board :) My hands are tied because I can't add anymore questions but I may look at adjusting the current ones :)

I find most of the suggested questions too invasive for an Internet medium. As long as you would keep them optional, I am fine with the idea.

I would like the current compulsory question "Connected already?" to become optional by the way too, please.

  hey thanks Gosia :)
  
  I think the "connected already" is optional...

    Wow, that was an instant wish grant lol! I have not noticed the empty white space at the bottom there before. Thanks for clarification. :)

      no worries :)
      I actually changed that question to optional (& off required) a long time ago but for some reason it still appears on members profiles who were here previous to me changing it... So new members have the option to skip the question all together but original members have to pick the blank...I think that's how it works.
