I got an invitation to the Disney trivia game Arny was holding on his forum on Wednesday... unfortunately I didn't have time to attend but I would have liked to. It got me wondering though, how many of you have trivia contests on your forum and how do you manage them? I've heard of some mods like Inferno Quiz v2.2 - vBulletin.org Forum and vB Quiz (vb3) Quiz Moderation Panel Enhancement - vBulletin.org Forum , pllus some kind of chat bot for FlashChat.

We hold trivia challenges every two weeks. I run them live in the chat rooms and although I wish there was a mod/hack for it, the time spent in the chat rooms and interacting with the members is priceless!

The quizzes that you mentioned above aren't up to date IIRC. But, I did buy the script for the vBQuiz about a month or so ago and some folks have had fun running quizzes for the other members. It's not the most popular feature on the site, but is fun to test your knowledge.

Here's a link to the ones I'm running now....

Maybe in two weeks I'll have the time to drop by and see how you do it... doubt I'll participate cuz I'm a slow typist, but that doesn't matter much when you're running the game anyway.
My members have expressed interest in playing trivia but no one wants to write up the questions, lol

I write up all of the questions, put out the communications about the sessions and then hold the sessions myself

All you have to worry about is to type out the answer quickly (spelling isn't even important ) and be the first for an extra point. 2 points for the first person to answer correctly and 1 point for 'piggybacking' with the correct answer within the allotted time. Then, every 5th question is the 'bonus' question where you have to PM me the answer directly...those are worth 5 points.

They're fun and we have good time making fun of each other's typing skills (or lack thereof) and trying to beat the others! Those Disney fans are very competitive.

Well if you're the one asking the questions, everyone will assume you know the answers. Just like Alex Trebec!

I'm not good at "first one to type the answer wins" games, but if there's like a buzzer system where the first to buzz in gets to give their answer, then I do well

On the downside about the trivia most of the answers could be found on the net... It takes all the fun out of it.
