Why use Quora when you have StackExchange?
Quora died the day they put the pay wall up. Also you can't post anonymously. It's fail after fail with me, it's unfortunate because I enjoyed the beta version of the site way back when.
- clebio 12y agoCan you post anonymously on StackExchange (honest question)?
- scintill76 12y agoStack Exchange's ToS[0] are pretty permissive: > Subscriber may not (a) select or use as a profile name a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; or (b) use as a profile name a name subject to any rights of a person other than Subscriber without appropriate authorization.

- fabian2k 12y agoFor most sites (Stack Overflow is one of the exceptions) you can simply ask a question without ever registering. Unlike Quora, SE doesn't have anything like a real name policy, you never have to give them your real name.
- clebio 12y agoThank you. I use SO a fair bit, so maybe that's why I didn't realize the other SE sites are more permissive.
- radmuzom 12y agoCan you point me to a StackExchange site where I can ask "What are some good action RPGs like Mass Effect or Deus Ex which you have enjoyed?". In fact, I discovered and joined Quora when a very similar question of mine was deleted from gaming.SE. In Quora, for most questions, I AM looking for opinion, not factual answers.

- fabian2k 12y agoArqade (Gaming Stack Exchange) doesn't allow game recommendation questions. In general, such recommendation questions are not a good fit for SE, some sites allow them but many don't. Some people just ask those in chat, which works reasonably well, but you need 20 reputation to do that.
