What defunct sites were you a member of?

I was a member of askville for quite a while.

Flurher…..oops…..it is not dead yet. I am sure there is one, if AB is defunct then i know that one for sure.

We were there. It was a site where people wrote about experiences they had at newsworthy events. I wrote about my working at the Cypress Structure collapse following the Loma Prieta earthquake.

Google Answers. I still miss it. Google shut it down with scant notice on November 30, 2006, and dismantled a large, active community that had had every reason to think it was thriving.

I was on Askville for about a month in 2008, thought it was awful, and fled to here.

ICQ
Slambook
Geocities
Quizilla
DeadJournal
Blurtit
MSN Groups
Everyone’sConnected
Myspace Groups
Myspace Chat
Answerbag

More or less in that order.

I’m an Answerbag refugee.

askville may it rest in peace.

WHquestion
Cerescape/Brainfuse

Both Q&A sites, both from a long time ago, both had a lot of users (WHquestion in particular). I found Fluther after they both closed down and I was aimlessly wandering the internet looking for a new home.

I cut my Q&A teeth on askville.

I remember

I was online before the Web existed. In the 1980s and early 1990s I was active in:

Compuserve

A few bulletin boards

rec.bicycles.tech on UseNet

Started with AIROW/AIWOR back in ‘06/‘07, then it was wis.dm, then it was this.

Aardvark. It was a q and a site

I was a member of Answerbag war zone.

Bolt.com (the original one), the tagbooks were my first experience of Q&A sites and I was hooked!
I was also a member of wis.dm, iThink (which turned into Minekey and I didn’t enjoy that as much so I left but I think it has since closed down) and Trouble chat.

Hey, since this is in Social, tell us how you found Fluther, @MikeA, and are there any other sane Baggers you can network?

^ Oh YEAH. Add Bolt to my list.

@ibstubro I googled something like “best question answer websites” and Fluther popped up.

So far I like it—I wish I had known about it earlier.

I didn’t have many contacts at AB. I’m kind of anti-social that way. The ones I interacted with most frequently weren’t too fond of me. Lol…

I actually heard about Fluther in AB from a few discontented ABr’s. I just never put my truck in drive to give Fluther a shot. I have now and happy with what I see so far.

If you’re wondering how I found this site, it’s either from Answerbag or wis.dm, most likely wis.dm. I left wis.dm as that ship is sinking and I left answerbag after it didn’t catch an error.
