I was actually just looking up stuff about jellyfish and stumbled across Fluther.

Lucky me!

Hi Kewlguy! I’m here for the same reason you are probably. I’m still going to watch AB though and see if the staff responds to some of our feedback.

Friends of mine from Answerbag told me about this website, and said that they were coming over here, so I decided to blindly follow them. This is my first day here, and this is my second question to answer. I’m still learning how things work over here and apologize in advance, should I make a lot of errors, which I am sure I will.

I came here during the Great Wis.dm Mass Migration of 2009. Wis.dm was a Q&A site like this one that closed down and this was recommended as an alternative. Found about wis.dm through another Q&A site. Found out about that site from an ad on Urbandictionary.

They made a gorgeous iPhone app and I got hooked (and apparently loved enough that people wanted me to stick around.) I don’t regret it for an instant.

I was doing research for a college paper and I ran across it during a Google search.

anon's avatar

I was looking for a website to ask and answer questions and, after checking out probably all of them I decided to register at Fluther. I found it on Wakoopa, a social media software recommendation engine.

ChocolateReigns's avatar

I ran across it on a site that listed QnA sites which I was looking at (can’t remember what it was called, I found that through Google) because I was looking for a good QnA site.

There was a thread about Fluther and sites like it (HA! As if there really is any such) on Ask MetaFilter.

Qwertymuffin411's avatar

I found it becuase someone on AB today was complaining and talking about Fluther!

jamielynn2328's avatar

I was on the Google looking something up and I was directed here. I am so glad that I found Fluther. It is one of my greatest lurves!!

kewlguy_exABuser's avatar

@Qwertymuffin411 I was sent a link from cotton101

kewlguy_exABuser's avatar

@jamielynn2328 that is how alot of us felt about AB, but the way I see it – everything happens for a reason!

AnnieB's avatar

Earlier today, while getting frustrated at not being able to navigate AB as easily as I once did, I read a question on that site that had something about fluther.com in it…I packed my Bag and came on over!

Raine's avatar

I saw it in a question on AB and decided to check it out…glad I did :)

delirium's avatar

Well hello, ya’ll! Welcome!

AustinusMaximus's avatar

I heard about it on AB when they decided to disregard everything the users wanted and made their page a clone of face book. If I wanted to be on face book, I’d be on face book. GEEZE!

NUNYA's avatar

AB made a rather HUGE mistake and PISSED many ABers off. So here we are! In a sense it was a good thing!

NUNYA's avatar

I put up a question on Answerbag telling others that We were moving and asked if they wanted to come and join the party!!!!
.
SirGoofy told me about it. Saying that Icy and King of Sexytown were here.

kewlguy_exABuser's avatar

@nursey who were you on AB? was I close to you?

Zacky's avatar

I heard rumors about people shacking up here and I decided to follow. I’m the leader type, but I can be a follower just this one time.

kewlguy_exABuser's avatar

@Zacky I knew you couldn’t stay away from this for too long “wink”

jerv's avatar

I got here thanks to NUNYA.

I’m pretty sure than any of you who has been on AB since 2004 knows me, especially if you’ve been in the Computer section there within the last couple of years.

Slick's avatar

Saw the name on a answer on AB the other day, and Cotton left me a message earlier today on the new message feature on AB.

Darwin's avatar

I got totally disgusted at Askville and the Mayor, and followed other Askvillers here.

sillyrabbit's avatar

I heard everyone was coming here and you know what i can not blame them. AB really screwed up.

kewlguy_exABuser's avatar

@Slick me too – got a email from Cotton101

kewlguy_exABuser's avatar

@sillyrabbit yes they did – they had their chance and blew it!

Shemarq's avatar

Several of my favorite people from AB told me they were coming over here, so I decided to come check it out.

icy's avatar

vanessa

kewlguy_exABuser's avatar

@Shemarq well, well, well!!! look what the cat dragged in!! LOL
great to see you – I missed you and your video questions! I hope you like it here, I do, but the attitude seems to be more serious/educated here, you might have to hold back on your video questions!

Shemarq's avatar

@kewlguy_exABuser Hey there!!! We’ll just have to liven things up a bit (but I’ll hold back for a little while—- I’ll try . . . . . LOL!!!
