It just blew past 1000 as if 1000 wasn’t even standing there.

An AMA is still a bigger deal, though. They are promotional by nature.
less than 10 minutes later we’re past 2800

Concur with all, you guys need to set up an AMA pronto… we’ll promote it of course…
I sent a request to the mods of /r/gaming asking how we could go about doing an AMA. Does anybody have any idea of how kick off an AMA?

These links give a brief overview:

http://turner4d.com/10-tips-for-hosting-a-reddit-ask-me-anything-ama/
But it looks like it’s mostly self-hosted, as in you create the initial post. But you should probably contact a moderator on gaming and either ask for permission or advice etc
EDIT: looks like you already contacted a mod… I would start drafting your post - the title is ESSENTIAL. make it quippy…

You could also try doing one AMA now if /r/IAMA can schedule one ASAP on /r/gaming if the mods say it’s okay, and doing another one later for the last push.
To all of us reddit ignoramuses, who should they send a message to? can you provide a link?

Check the “Sidebar” on each subreddit, which is to the left side. That tends to have the rules and guidelines for each subreddit.

You TARS (and the word boner) likely brought thousands of $ for the cause! Well done sir! ,o7

Space Boner, to be precise.

Yep. There is a lot about the timing and the way you title something to make it work there.
The same album was posted yesterday but this one was at a much better time and with a much better title.

I’m really confused by this “Submit AMA” screen. Is this submission for right now or is it something that I can schedule for the future? I’m not going to have time to do an AMA until next weekend…
The mod of /r/gaming said I should submit the AMA to /r/iama
Yup, that’s for immediate posts. If you want to schedule something, contact the mods of /r/iama in order to reserve a post.
Reddit eats up phrases like “space boner”. If we can think of a few others (protip: alcohol might help), we can do this AMA thing kinda strategically maybe.

Take the googly eyed bearded drunk asteroid getting a space bonner… or something
I shouldn’t make posts when I’m this tired, but I’m going to anyway.

Like I said, on the “Sidebar” (the right side when you’re on the www.reddit.com/r/iama) there is a “Click here” link to schedule an AMA. It PMs the mods with some default form stuff filled out.
Also, remember what I said about scheduling it around 10AM-12PM EST. Anything posted from like 5PM-7AM has half the chance of reaching /r/all, historically.
