I cheated. Do you think I can be forgiven?

Asked by chyna (51572points) October 24th, 2016 from iPhone

Ok I didn’t cheat exactly. I had heard Answerbag was revamped and reopened. I went over there to look. I don’t see any rhyme or reason to it. I like Fluther’s flow much better. Will you be going over, or in some cases, back to Answerbag? Why do you like it better than Fluther?

Oh, I forgot about this, not looked in yet but almost certainly will…however briefly depends on a vast improvement

You tramp! You’ll never be redeemed.

I check in at both Quora and Answerbag. I agree that Fluther has a much better layout, appearance, and flow. The other two sites have more participants and questions, however, and the conversation tones are generally friendlier.

Shame on you! An ostracizable act. ;)

@love_my_doggie. Their “conversation tones are generally friendlier”. That makes me a bit sad. I’ve always thought of Fluther as one of the friendliest places on the internet. Although in recent times I concede, much less so.

@chyna, I’m shocked at your infidelity, but I forgive you.

I just tried to log in with what I thought was my legitimate, if scarcely used, account.
It refused to let me in, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin…although I did shave this morning so that may be a lie of sorts.

They clearly don’t deserve you on their site.

ucme's avatar

Quite, although I suspect my sustained presence in the “penalty box” may be closer to the truth.

Fluther and I have an open relationship.

@Seek That’s not what s/he said to me!

I’ll glance at the other site, but I would be shocked if it could lure me away. I have made a handful of real friends here.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I glanced. It sucks.

Stinley's avatar

^it really sucks. The layout is awful and the questions are rubbish. I cheated too

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

^I was on the site for less than 60 seconds. I glanced at the questions. Rubbish.

janbb's avatar

Just went for a quickie. I’m sticking with my first lurve.

ucme's avatar

Place still will not grant me entry, probably for the best though…i’d brutalise the joint.

Seek's avatar

Yeah, I sent an email to the site owner, they said they’re trying to fix the problem. The only way I can log in is through Facebook, but they won’t let me change my display name from my full name, so that isn’t happening.

I can’t forgive you, @chyna, because you never had a contractual agreement with Fluther that gave us exclusive access to you awesomness. Sure, we were in bed together, but never married.

Please, though, forgive yourself.

@Seek Oh ok, I thought it was just me & I was special :/
Not a positive sign having login issues right after a supposed revamp, but hey…my hopes weren’t high.

Seek's avatar

The site is incredibly amateur.

Heck, once when I was mad at Fluther my uncle (who lurks here sometimes but never posts) made a Q&A site in a couple of hours that auto-populated questions with bots that looked better than the new AB.

ucme's avatar

Sounds about right
Also…Hi Uncle Seek :D

DarknessWithin's avatar

It was a thread here that informed me that AB had shut down to begin with. I was a member there before I was here but hadn’t been there in years due to almost a complete absence of activity.

Out of curiosity I gave this revamp a looksie and am not impressed, it was incredibly simplified and the damn thing won’t log me in. Initially, I’d considered that it didn’t carry over accounts from the old site but it allowed me to reset my password proving otherwise. Yet when I submit my information the log-in page simply resets. And I refuse to use Facebook.
Great new start.

Whatever, Fluther is the place I’d count on for my questions. I never got satisfying answers on AB if any at all.

An old bag that has been brought back from the dead. That isn’t much competition.
