It’s true what everyone is saying. I come to fluther for everything I can’t find in a Wiki (or is to difficult to find in a Wiki \ Web Search) or just general advice for stuff that no Wiki could ever answer, like personal questions about mental health (“I just broke up with my Boyfriend, what do I do?” or “I think I love her, but how do I know?”) or obscure questions, like “I want a good, healthy meal for my family: Any ideas?” or “Does anyone play Dungeons and Dragons anymore?”
If I goto the D&D Wiki, they, of course, will say yes, but after asking here, I realize it is a miracle they even bothered with a 4th edition, it seems no one play anymore.
The best part about fluther are the moderators. YahooAnswers has none, thus you get responses to questions in ways like, “uR n00b11!1!1!!!1!! I is H8 uR n00by a$$!” or answers of such a condescending nature, the person that asked it, in a legitimate way, feels like they are worthless, which is a bad thing. If someone has the courage to ask, even if they don’t think they are asking a “dumb” question, they should still have the answer given, or be told politely that they have made a mistake. I suppose that is another key difference between Wikis and Fluther: The moderators. I have read some Wikis that had so many errors, my eyes bleed, but here, if you screw up, ether a moderator will tell you, or someone else will correct you.
