Answer Forums?
Heya! I was wondering if it would be possible to create something like this:

Admins have the ability to designate which forums are "answer forums". The "answer forums" is where members could post questions (topic) and select the best answer (post) given by the community... similar to Yahoo! Answers. Useful for support forums.

Ideas for features to throw out there:
  • Turn certain forum IDs into answers forum.
  • Allow users to choose which reply was the best answer.
  • Statistics for top helpers and questions?
  • ...Some other ideas. @_@

Nah I think I could do this too using hooks and by adding a button to a specified forum but I see no point of this if you don`t give some prize for the user who made the best answer.

Hmm...

I can't think of anything for "prizes" other than:
  • MyPS Integration
  • Increase how many questions the user has answered.

Hmz it is possible. However I think I`ll make a plugin that will work like "Yahoo Answers"
