Frequently Asked Questions

Ipiqi is a tag-based forum. Instead of having designated sections or sub-forums like regular discussion boards, you just submit posts with any tags you want. Nothing is off-topic because anything can be a tag. You can quickly tell you who the experts are on any tag, and you can easily see which posts are worth reading.  Check out our short video to get a quick overview of the site.

Tags are basically the same as keywords, and are used to label your posts and replies under as many categories or topics as you want. Some examples of tags are general chat, technology, restaurants, etc. The more tags you use, the better, since your posts will be seen by other people interested in the same tags.

Pronounced "I-picky," it means you get to be just that. Pick whatever piques your interest, talk with others about it, and then piq whether what they say is useful or not.

Search for whatever piques your interest. Any relevant threads will show up in a results box, and you can have as many open on as many different tags as you want and drag them to fit on your window. Then, once you click on a thread, you can piq any post as being good or bad. Good posts become green, bad posts turn red. Expert members will have bigger usernames next to their posts, while spammers will shrink until they're tiny. You yourself can post a thread about anything, and tag it so the right (interested) people will see it. If you get piqqed up a lot for a certain tag, you become recognized as an expert for that tag.

You can "piq" something as good or bad by using the green or red buttons on each post. That helps us determine who actually knows what they're talking about, who the experts are, and what posts are worth reading.

Since we're brand new and there may not be conversations specific to the tag you're interested in, so you may want to click on the link in the top left corner of the home page and open up Recent Threads and Recent Posts so that you can join in on other threads being posted. But, you can also do something about it! If there are no results for your tag, start asking a question or posting information, get the conversation going. The more people participate in conversations around certain tags, the better your results will be.

It's FREE! We'll pay for our hosting by putting up just one ad by each thread, that will hopefully be relevant to what's being discussed.
