Anybody remember what it was like 16+ years ago when "most questions" hadn't already been asked yet?

Yeah, that site was good before they started rejecting every useful question.

It used to be much better than anything else that came earlier. Nowadays the odds are even that you'll find your answer on the experts-one.

I spent a lot of time there the first couple of years, mostly answering questions. I was in the top 20 or so of users for a while - I remember when Jon Skeet was right below me in the rankings and I thought "huh, I'll show this guy". I did not in fact show that guy. I'm still in the top .1% but I haven't done anything there in almost a decade.
