| @ChileNoseJam, I am fully aware of the fact that that happens commonly - I've seen as Kosovo, Vatican City, Taiwan, South Sudan and Palestine have been added on to Sporcle since 2008, for instance. By no means am I suggesting that we make quizzes that don't go out of date. But the difference between the currencies and the countries/capitals is the fact that when a new country pops up or elects a new leader, it's bigger news. I'm just making a suggestion based on my own experience - I made one a long time ago based on information from 2006 on countries without a McDonald's. There was a user that told me that Iceland had now lost all its McDonald's outlets, and so to prevent that sort of mismatch between a quiz and the ever-changing reality of the world, I stated that it applies to 2006 so I could save some work. Sporcle admin take more notice of things like political elections and changes in country status, and they can change the Sporcle verified quizzes already published relatively quiz. The same applies to Sporcle users and their own contributed quizzes. Currencies is something a little more obscure, especially if a state like the Kyrgyz stop using their som, or the Albanians stop using their leks. It'll be forever before someone comments on that news, possibly longer for it to get corrected. What you said is incorrect. Sooner or later, you cannot assume that it refers to the time at which you're taking the quiz. Alternatively, you could make this quiz immortally valid with just a simple note. Does that make sense? |
