Eh – probably not. I think this site and its personality has grown pretty organically over the years and the founders have established a culture that wouldn’t be that easy to duplicate elsewhere.
If another, long-time Flutherer started one that had some aspects, maybe, but I’ve seen many other Q&A sites and they just lack the maturity, wisdom, insight and generosity that this site does.
I doubt it. My last site might as well have gone belly up, if Fluther went away I figure I was a jinx to Q&A sites and just stick to making prank phone calls.
This is my last attempt. I’d switch off the computer and go back to books and classical music. Things like Assbook or invitation-only sites make me want to throw up.
@baileysmom12 made me smile! Fluther has been a lifesaver for me! Years ago a talk radio station I listened to went off the air, I felt sucker punched. Guess it would be the same with Fluther. Some days I spend mostly in bed, TV was eating my brain cells and I read until my eyes popped.
No. I like the founders, design of fluther. Not going to get that anywhere else. It’s personal and well-maintained. Nice community of people; good stuff. Found it by accident wouldn’t bother going in search of a replacement if it went away.
@faye I lost one of my radio talk shows too. I used to listen to Art Bell a lot. Guess that expalins a little me a little more,,huh? @lucillelucillelucille Thank you, thank you very much….did you see my lip curl up on that one?? :):):)
@baileysmom12 Art Bell morphed into The George Norry show after midnight where I live. I sometimes turn it on if I’m wakeful. Strange but interesting sometimes.
I wouldn’t find another Q&A site. I like everything about Fluther, from the thoughtfulness of the content to the little jokes to the jellyfish art. I like thinking about people’s problems and writing, so I might start a blog or write some more stories. Actually, I’d probably be a hell of a lot more productive.
