No matter how bad Stack Overflow gets, it is wildly better than what came before it. If you are not old enough to remember the horrors of trying to get any useful information out of the old world of random forums, or expertsexchange (most of these have gone the way of geocities), take a gander through some of the older MSDN forums - posts from the mid 2000s still tend to show up if you're searching for somewhat obscure IIS or ASP.NET related stuff.
- tenebrisalietum 7y ago9 years ago I joined Superuser (it was in beta at the time IIRC) out of pure hatred for Experts Exchange and how every time I would put in a technical question in Google, their paywall site would come up. I'm glad Stack Exchange beat Experts Exchange and will always contribute to it no matter what the politics. Because that's how much Experts Exchange pissed me off.
