I'd like to raise two questions here, about the quizzes in the Quizzes section of the Forum :
First, I'm curious what other members feel about the quizzes. Are they a hit or a flop, or somewhere in between ? I, personally enjoy them, and wish there were more. But I feel like the interest in them is waning since the initial burst. Comments, all ?
Second, I'd like to know if it would be okay for a Quiz poster okay to start a thread (related to the Quiz) in a sub-forum/section of his/her choice. This thread would serve the purpose of providing an area for discussion (this is already being served by the thread that automatically gets created in the Quiz Feedback section), but more importantly, it will serve as advertising (call it an announcement) to the market that the poster thinks is likely to be interested in that Quiz. The link to this thread could be provided, instead of the standard thread.
Example : If I put up a Materials Science Quiz, and started a thread titled "Materials Science Quiz" in the Chemical/Materials Engg. section, I imagine I'd alert more interested folk to the existence of this quiz. Also, if then, a discussion based on this took off, it might catch more people's eyes.
