FAQ
Where can I find the older versions of AskTaco.com?
Since AskTaco's conception a few years back, it has been recreated several times. Mostly out of
boredom instead of actual need.
Here are the older "generations":
-
Generation One
Completely static, every question submitted was emailed to the staff (at the time, two whole people) and the web designer would edit every page. Eventually SSL Includes were used, but it didn't make the task much easier. Also Asktaco didn't even had it's own domain and was hosted at induktion.com/asktaco.
-
Generation Two
Rewritten in PHP using a MySQL back end. Also the first time an admin was used. Since the hits started coming in, we thought it would cool to try to make some money. We are yet to get any money from the ads.
-
Generation Three
Using generally the same code as Generation Two, we gave it the site a face-lift, losing the "Taco-Maroon" color everyone had grown to love and get tired of. Usernames and Quizzes were also implemented for the first time.
Why do you have Ads on your site?
AskTaco has sold out! We realized that anybody can sell anything on the web, so we figured what the hell, why not AskTaco?
That's not totally true. Nobody ever actually used the words "what the hell." In all actuality, we realized that we could use AskTaco to get money for our ManTrip, where we ritually sacrifice chickens, Barbie Dolls, and Vonce to the gods of manliness. We talk sports, women, and beer. We scratch ourselves and we burp. We are men. But men need money - hence the ads. Adjusting for currency conversion and inflation, we have enough money now to purchase enough gas to get us to go the convenience store where we will buy a candy bar. You people need to click on the ads. I guarantee you that if you click on the ads, your sex life will improve. The more you click on the ads, the more sex you get - even if I have to go out there and have sex with you myself. *
* Offer applies to hot women between 18 and 25 within the Continental United States (no freak states) and Santa Fe de Bogota, Columbia.
How can I increase the chances of my question being answered?
On average, the staff receives about five questions per day and, on busy days, upwards of ten. Since Taco answers questions every few days, he may have nearly twenty to thirty questions to answer at a time. In general, he rejects about two out of every three of these questions. Here are some tips to increase the chances of your question being answered:
- Your question is general and applies to an entire group of people (such as women, lesbians, or albino dogcatchers). It should avoid personal situations, such as "my friend refuses to date me." Also, avoid naming people.
- Your question is written in proper English with minimal grammatical and spelling errors and not Idiot. Avoid the use of any of the following as words, for example - u, ur, 2, str8, gf.
- Your question hasn't already been answered. The staff is in the process of categorizing the questions and while we regret that every question is not straightforward, it's not our fault. Check if your question has been answered already.
- Your question is not a comment. Taco will gladly read any comments you email him directly. Submitting your comment on the submit page is an automatic rejection.
