We won't be participating in the Q&A any further for a variety of reasons. I hope that we can start up something here on Seibertron.com where we do our best to answer your questions. I think this approach might provide more answers to our average user than our experience has been with the "official" Q&A program.
For competitive reasons

What competition? Is this more from a busniess stand point? i never quite got this..Is there some underground mega toy compnay that could steal their ideas in the night? I highly doubt fansproject or any other 3rd party company would deliberatley bring down the wrath of hasbros legal department upon themselves..

That is how toy companies, and any companies selling a product for that matter, operate. They don't comment on leaked information, don't discuss certain things until they are formally announced, etc. They're not being lazy, they are just protecting their product. It's good business practice.
I have little to no experience with communications with Hasbro, but from years of Q&A with LEGO employees I've come to understand the kind of questions they can answer, and the kind that would be a waste of time on both ends. Discussions on current products are wide open, but upcoming stuff is off limits until that information is officially released by the company.
That's just the way it is.
Granted, the person who answers questions for LEGO is more or less a saint, receiving waves of questions every day and answering all of them even if it's with the generic "I am not allowed to discuss this at this time". He is even a member on the fan site, participates in the forums, and takes pm'd questions directly.
Limiting an entire website to two questions of your choosing is absolutely ridiculous.

"What does optimus prime like on his pizza"
or
"what does Startscream like to do on his days off?"
It's pretty much established that they wont say anything important so I say, lets ask them totally stupid questions..At least have some fun with it..Seems like people get really bent out of shape about the answers Hasbro gives so I say don't give them a reason too..

Whoa!
That's a pretty ballsy comment, man! Especially considering the site owner is quite close...

Accidentally.

I think that most of my frustration comes from how much time is put into sending the questions to Hasbro. While it might seem ridiculous, it somehow takes me about twenty minutes or so to do the initial news post asking people to submit their questions, and then about an hour to sort through the questions users submit to figure out what to send. I read through all of the questions, try to figure out which ones I already know the answer to, put the email together in the format which Hasbro requires, and then send it. If that doesn't happen by 10am on the Monday the questions are due, we just never hear back from them.
