They are updated once a day right now. I’ll change it to be more frequent.

Anonymous asked: So is witty like a business where you work in an office building and have a secretary and a little plaque that says "Steven DeGraeve, CEO Witty Profiles"?

I wish.

Anonymous asked: Who are your favorite wittians?

My favorite Wittians are the ones who write really good quotes. Here is a partial list.

Anonymous asked: Can you make it so the time and date of a quote is visible on mobile?

I’ll see what I can do. I need to add a timezone to the user profiles and then update all the time displays to use it. It’s a fair amount of work.

Anonymous asked: If witty is a hobby and you have a job, when do you spend time with your wife?!

Good question.

Anonymous asked: Do you ever feel awkward explaining witty to people? Like, yeah, is a site full of teenage girls that post their feelings and emotions in quotes and then you read them and favorite then if you like them, it's pretty legit.

I often find Witty difficult to explain and just avoid it and talk about what I do for a living.

Anonymous asked: When you and your wife have kids, are you going to let them get a witty?

Sure — I need to pass the keys on to someone.

Anonymous asked: I've just recruited my friend to Witty. She's actually been really depressed and she has an anxiety disorder. Ever since she's joined Witty, she's been a lot more like the happy girl I knew 3 years ago. Witty saved her. Thank you, Steve, for helping save at least one life.

Witty is better with friends.

Anonymous asked: Here's a question: Don't you ever get extremely exhausted of all the drama going on Witty? It's basically (heck, it is) full of teenage girls. They all complain about the changes you make in the website. How do you put up with that?

I listen to the signal in the noise.

Anonymous asked: steve why is witty like dead quotes used to have around a thousand like n stuff now it has like 100 or 200

Invite your friends to join witty profiles.

Also, the good news is that a lot of Wittians started using tumblr in the last year or so. Maybe now that Yahoo has bought tumblr, Wittians will return to Witty.

Anonymous asked: Steve, can you please put back the feature where we can see the exact date of something from when it's over a year ago? I like looking at my old quotes and knowing the specific date from when I posted it and I can't do that anymore.

If you are using a device with a mouse, you can hover over they “ago” date and it will display the exact date (and time?) in a tool tip.

infinitydragon asked: Whenever I delete comments that I reply to, the comment box and username stays there but the message goes away. How do I get the box to go away?

Delete the comments from the bottom up. You can’t totally delete a comment if it has replies, so delete the replies first. I’ll try to make this happen automatically someday.

Anonymous asked: I like the new witty quote format thing, it's so much easier to see everything now!

I’m glad you like it! I’d like to make the profile pages similar, but don’t want to break all the layouts people have made over the years. For those of you who haven’t seen the new quote page, here’s a good example: http://www.wittyprofiles.com/q/6759117
