Quora no haven for Prequel lovers, or Peter Jackson lovers... (Now 100% pop-up free! :-D)

I've just returned from a seven month journey of being on Quora. :-/ I thought it would be different, and wanted to branch out just from the regular site of the Star Wars Prequel Appreciation Society. It seemed alright at first. :-) Different from the usual Star Wars sites filled with haters, and open minded about George Lucas. Then the haters

Ouch! That sounds disturbing. I'm glad to hear a review of the site, even though you eventually left it. Wiki says it's a q/a format and recently got a big wad of dough to keep on operating. I hope your internet 'home' is more welcoming. :)

Yeah. the funny thing is, that other than that, it's not that bad. :-) The problem is that you can't really control what shows up in your feed, once you subscribe to something

There is one honkin' big popup here wanting me to visit xwinnerDOTcom! Is that on your end, too?

once you subscribe to something Yes, it's sure a downside of subscribing, as you describe it on quora. I've spent more time on tumblr lately, reblogging and such, and attracted x-rated 'followers' that need deleting right away. :/ It seems, unless you post completely privately, there's not a way to make your content friends only. *looks around* Thanks for friends only, LJ!*

Joe Bob Briggs Good old Joe Bob. We used to read his stuff all the time and there's a book around here somewhere filled with his pieces

That actually used to be a referral for Swag Bucks, and sat on the side as a side banner, which is actually a decent site. :-) However, then Swag Bucks switched their referral system to something different, and the link got disconnected. I don't know where it leads now. I've tried getting rid of it, but I don't know how. I'm probably just going to switch the journal style to something new. Easiest way to get rid of it. ;-)

There's a lot of porn on Tumblr. ;-) You're right about subscribing. And the thing is that once you've answered a question or two, becoming a contributor yourself, you get bombarded with things that "you may be interested in", even if you've unsubscribed! I told them "NO! No more Lord of the Rings!" and "No more Star Wars, unless it's Anakin based!" and yet they still keep sending stuff to my feed! O_O It's ridiculous
