How has the Fluther site changed since the influx of Answerbag refugees?

1 Answer

Answer :

It hasn’t. We get an occasional question about “Why can’t we <do something we did on AB>?”. But other than that, Fluther’s been going on its merry way, just as it did after the flood of Askvillers (myself included) and Wis.dm’ers, and whomever else.
