How many monkeys are in the banner?

When was the cellar established?

Happy Monkey 08-22-2012 08:24 PM

Though I like BigV's idea about using the tagline.

What gang was Serena celebrating with her victory jig in London?

What's a tagline?

Happy Monkey 08-22-2012 08:31 PM

Are you asking, or are you positing that a potential member would ask?

Undertoad 08-22-2012 08:32 PM

No new registrations in the last hour, we may have won. I've spent the time deleting obvious spam accounts opened in the last week, but I couldn't get them all. But if this question/answer gets the job done, the spam will slowly stop as the accounts are used.

Q: What is the username of the Owner/admin of the Cellar?

It's the first thing that comes up under FAQ. You could even ask them to "Answer the following Frequently Asked Question." to clue them in. If someone isn't smart enough to figure out where to find the answer, we probably don't want them here anyway. It would seem to be a step the spam bots would have trouble with yet the answer to the question is right here (and it never hurts to get people to read the FAQ before they start posting anyway).

A potential new user has no idea what a tagline is.

Coming up with a question with no cultural bias is harder than it seems. The first ones you came up with had a bias of you needed to already be on the Cellar to understand them.

Happy Monkey 08-22-2012 08:37 PM

Me? The first ones I came up with are in the banner at the top of every page.

Everest is a good one. Wait for them to break it.

I would not have been able to say what a tagline was when I joined here.

Undertoad 08-22-2012 08:40 PM

not you hm

ZenGum 08-22-2012 08:47 PM

Well, we could ask them about the squirrel which flies a plane on a treadmill around a tree ...

footfootfoot 08-22-2012 08:53 PM

That would do it - no-one would ever get in! Or, perhaps better still, show them the picture of that 'fucking iron bar'!
