It was Experts Exchange. Then they paywalled everything like greedy idiots - hiding decades of useful community knowledge.

Then everyone moved rapidly to StackExchange, which had coexisted but been quite small until EE did their thing.

It starts with innocent questions, then thigh highs during long coding sessions and... you know the rest. It's all in the name! ๐Ÿ˜
