==Subsites== As mentioned under Moderation, the administrative area known as MetaTalk, or MeTa for short, allows for meta-discussion of the community, including bug reports, feature requests, and "self-policing". In 2003, Ask MetaFilter was launched. This forum allows members to post questions to the community, without the link requirement. AskMe quickly grew to a strong side community with slightly different etiquette requirements and many daily threads that cover a broad spectrum of topics. Users are limited to asking one question per week and are allowed to ask questions anonymously.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://metatalk.metafilter.com/3702/ProtoAskMetafilter |title=Proto-AskMetafilter |date=December 8, 2003 |access-date=November 22, 2018 |archive-date=November 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123065520/https://metatalk.metafilter.com/3702/ProtoAskMetafilter |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="FAQ" /> At the end of 2005, MetaFilter Projects was launched. This area of the site is for members to announce web projects they have been working onβthe one place on the site where so-called "self-linking" is permitted. Members can vote on projects, and often post interesting projects to the main site following the same guidelines as any other post.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://metatalk.metafilter.com/10484/Ive-got-the-basics-of-MeFi-Projects-working-now |title=I've got the basics of MeFi Projects working now |date=November 8, 2005 |access-date=November 22, 2018 |archive-date=November 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123022654/https://metatalk.metafilter.com/10484/Ive-got-the-basics-of-MeFi-Projects-working-now |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2006, MetaFilter Music launched. This area of the site allows users to upload their own musical creations, which others can listen to directly on the website, along with playlist and favorites features.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://metatalk.metafilter.com/12190/Announcing-MeFi-Music |title=Announcing MeFi Music! |date=June 30, 2006 |access-date=November 22, 2018 |archive-date=November 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123022508/https://metatalk.metafilter.com/12190/Announcing-MeFi-Music |url-status=live }}</ref> Later on August 24, 2006, MetaFilter Jobs was added. This section was created for members to post job openings.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://metatalk.metafilter.com/12567/Announcing-MeFi-Jobs |title=Announcing MeFi Jobs! |date=August 25, 2006 |access-date=November 22, 2018 |archive-date=November 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123022652/https://metatalk.metafilter.com/12567/Announcing-MeFi-Jobs |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2007, MetaFilter launched a podcast, which lives at the Podcast subsite. <ref>{{Cite web|title=1: The First One|url=https://metatalk.metafilter.com/13682/Announcing-the-new-weekly-MeFi-podcast|access-date=2021-12-01|website=metatalk.metafilter.com|language=en|archive-date=2021-12-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211210154418/https://metatalk.metafilter.com/13682/Announcing-the-new-weekly-MeFi-podcast|url-status=live}}</ref> in June 2010, the IRL subsite was launched as a place to share community meetups and other events.<ref>{{Cite web|title=IRL is here!|url=https://metatalk.metafilter.com/19487/IRL-is-here|access-date=2021-12-01|website=metatalk.metafilter.com|language=en|archive-date=2021-12-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211201174152/https://metatalk.metafilter.com/19487/IRL-is-here|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2014, FanFare was created to give the community a place to discuss entertainment media such as TV shows, Movies, Podcasts, Books, and Special Events.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://metatalk.metafilter.com/23210/New-subsite-beta-alpha-FanFare |title=New subsite beta (alpha?): FanFare |date=April 16, 2014 |access-date=November 22, 2018 |archive-date=November 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123065606/https://metatalk.metafilter.com/23210/New-subsite-beta-alpha-FanFare |url-status=live }}</ref>
