Anyone remember experts-exchange?
I remember when it didn’t have a dash. Until people started making fun of the old URL…

Ah yes, the place that never answered anything.
The sloppiest of slops before we got AI slop.

Or if they had an answer, they paywalled it, until Google got pissed at them for including the answer in their SEO but blocking it once the user clicked through. Then they maliciously complied with Google’s demand to not censor by burying the answer under layers upon layers of ads and other “related” questions.
I was so glad to see SO eat their lunch.
I used it in earnest! (to write shitty VB scripts and PHP websites)
