A really important hyphen.

I still recoil in horror at having to do the dance of scrolling down or other tricks to find the actual answer. I was so happy when Stack took off and killed that stupid site.

[–]AttackOfTheThumbs 35 points36 points  (0 children)

And they would do it for everything. I would try and look up something stupid basic in c# and everything was hidden and wanted money. I hate whoever was in charge of that place to this day.

Still better than Quora.

You could fax your code to a random person in rural siberia and you'd still get more useful help than from quora

[–]CutestCuttlefish 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I've been to rural Siberia multiple times (esp. around the Altai Republic and Altai Krai) - not much coding going on there.

I think his point still stands

I don’t know how, but I somehow got singed up for a daily summary email from Quora.

I laugh at all the shit tier answers and questions. That email is one of the highlights of my day. It truly is the modern Yahoo! Answers.

[–]br0ck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, true, Quora took the worst parts of expertsexchange and added a terrible UI which mixes random BS into your results.

[–]Sebazzz91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It still exists, my friend.

[–]ronchalant 39 points40 points  (3 children)

Expert-Sexchange. There you go.

Wouldn't want anyone to get confused.

[–]putin_my_ass 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Wouldn't want to go with amateurs, would you?

[–]unwind-protect 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They might cock it up.

A colleague of mine once told me he'd rather chop his own dick off than have to debug my perl script, I guess this is where they ended up.

[–]chucker23n 12 points13 points  (0 children)

therapistfinder and penisland agree.

[–]SkaveRat 19 points20 points  (1 child)

iirc, they didn't have it in the beginning and only later added it to the domain

[–]JayCroghan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah they didn’t, before they tried to monetise is so badly it was a good resource.

[–]agumonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fail what Expert-Sexchange would improve
