| May 20, 2013 at 17:17 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | I can attest to Expert-Sexchange having roughly the same quality as Stack Exchange. There are plenty of idiots and experts with the money for a subscription (most commonly their work is footing the bill either way). | |

There are (and always will be) competing sites, but if we have a high quality knowledge base and a core of experts who provide excellent answers to new high-quality) questions that's all that really matters. Everything else tends to itself. | |
| May 20, 2013 at 17:02 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | We are really no better or worse than our internal competition (We've been around longer, which means Google directs lots of traffic our way. Give the other sites 3 years to climb the Google rankings and they may wind up with the same quality issues we're currently fighting. Stack Overflow has it worse than we do.). In terms of our comparison to external sites, the other Experts Q&A site tends to demand money in order to reduce the suck factor - whether or not that works is debatable. You can visit forum-style sites & draw your own conclusions as well. Personally: Bleh! | |
| May 20, 2013 at 16:56 | comment | added | mdpc | I'm looking at this question in making a comparison to other sites and seeing where we standout or are lacking. There seem to be a lot of opinions here but actually seeing other sites for ideas or to "crow" about how we are better is certainly good. | |
