I just remembered Scotty used to answer questions on his old website for at least the 30 minutes following a live stream. Does he still do that here or does he just answer whenever now?
No, I don't think so. He gets so many questions, sometimes, that's partly why he developed a new system to handle them all. He was being overwhelmed. His old system was simple, I think there was no moderator capability, and it was basically just a free-for-all as far as questions. I only used that system a couple times before he changed over to the new system. I remember I asked Scotty a question regarding modern standard transmissions, if you get the car rolling and you "pop" the clutch into gear, would the car still start. Some guy that wasn't Scotty said yes, it would.
I asked Scotty a question during a live stream session, where he found that bell that he rings at the end of his episodes. He answered that question live, then, like 6 weeks later during one of is bonus question sessions, he answered it again.

Usually, if it's early in the morning, you can get answers from Scotty himself, and he'll pop in randomly during the day to see if questions haven't been answered. Your best chance to catch him is in the early morning, and if moderators haven't answered yet, he'll answer. He generally doesn't answer if they've been replied to already.
@justin-shepherd interesting, many have asked him the same question in videos, even here.
He answered even my question in live talk months before this forum was established

Fun fact: I repaired it with brake cleaner and liquid metal.
That's pretty cool! And I think I was the original person who submitted that question. I "liked" that particular video, so it would be easy to come back to. If it comes up enough, would we maybe put that in the FAQs? I haven't seen any of those questions I don't think.
Does he still do that here or does he just answer whenever now?
When this site started he answered questions in the early morning, and evening. Lately he's been doing only mornings. Probably because the site is pretty active during the day and there's nothing to answer.
