What's your opinion on the StackOverflow website?

I am a member of CodeProject, not Stackoverflow. Does that answer your question?
A member of CP and only CP? Sorry, but I think it is very legal to be in more than one Forum and also the question of http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11253906 is/should be legal :doh: Bruno

This is why I don't contribute there - I had similar experiences when I first joined. Bunch of arrogant, cliquey people who I don't wish to be associated with. This place was open, friendly, and generally technically more competent. I am still here...:laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And if you said what do you mean to answer you did not get nuked! :laugh: Plus they seem to have some value to their rep points(?)

Ever tried to contribute and respond to a question on the StackOverflow website? Every time I respond, I get some douche who tries to copy and edit my solution, take credit for my wisdom, and then have me banned from the site by down voting me. I recently had someone try to edit my solution and modify it as her own, only to have it denied by the last reviewer in the chain. Thankfully I didn't lose what little reputation points I had accumulated. What has been your experience?

No; CP is far superior.

Every time I look for an example their website pops up, so I look at the solutions. It cracks me up that they are unable to remove all the stupid irrelevant comments and discussions AND remove all the kludgy solutions that do get through their review process. Too often I see stuff that doesn't pass the sniff test. I have to scroll through too much spaghetti before, I see one acceptable approach.

Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

It's basically the same as any mainstream/popular website where people go to get questions. After sites get popular, you get the people who start to go there simply to get internet points, and don't really care if they're actually helping or not. From my experience, if I can't find a question that was previously answered, I'm not posting my question there. Depending on the question/language you ask in, you can get some really poor answers, but sometimes I've seen those extremely good ones.

It's better that ExpertsExchange, more alive than PlanetSourceCode but not as coherent as CodeProject. I tend to use it in a read-only capacity.

I think you missed what I was trying to say. Could be a language barrier. What I was trying to say was I would rather be a member of Code Project than Stack Overflow....member. I go to Stack Overflow for answers occasionally, but I don't post there.

I contributed once with a reasonable answer. My goodness did I regret that - the flamers set in and it became some playground bully fest of a who can be the biggest jerk. Needless to say I cancelled my account and now merely use it when google takes me there. There is a serious problem with the ethos of those running the site to as I constantly see good questions being asked and moderators shutting down the question as it has not been phrased correctly - seriously :wtf:! Its one saving grace is that there are a number of technically very helpful solutions to problems on the site.
