I used to go to SO and really liked it. I haven't been in a long time though and didn't know about this. What are your thoughts about Quora? Seems similar to me.

Quora is pure cancer. SO is still better.

OK, do you have a suggestion?

I don't really have any Insights into Quora. I know StackExchange hardliner always joked about the site and felt like SE is better. I joined that because I thought it was fun to feel superior, but I don't even have an account on that site
