Don't get me wrong, I love Blurtit! But is there any former ask.com members out there that still miss it? Miss the people? Miss the mobile app? Miss the daily "Am I Pregnant" questions?

I liked the format of Ask!, and some of the folks who were there just faded away. I don't remember Spam being much of an issue there either.

I wasn't on there very long before it crashed, but I did like the app. Because of the app I was one of the people who was clinging on for the site's last breath. That is also when I met two very nice ladies. Most of the other people I met there are also on this site. I don't miss it that much.

I missed Ask a lot when it first closed down but I feel just a comfortable on Blurtit now. Most of my friends made it here but there are a few who didn't.

I liked ASK a lot .  It was the first site I ever joined. Met some very nice people most moved here but we lost some. I was one of the ones that held on to the very last minute. I didn't like the "Time Outs".

I do miss Ask since it was the first Q&A site that I joined. There were some things I didn't like - the favoritism, for one thing. There have been ups and down with this site; hopefully those are past us now.

not really the people were great but that site was heavily moderated, you had to think hard about the question you were about to ask this site gives you far more freedom

There was a broader spectrum of people to debate . . . So I miss that.

This one has a much better way of posting media content. I like to SHARE information via TED Talks, or NPR, and this format allows for that sort of presentation.

Miss the people---yes, some.

Never used the mobile app.

Some of the questions---oh no!

Good sized community membership---more questions, broader range.

I'm not sure I would even consider re-joining if they became available again---but I suppose I would check it out out of curiosity..

So, on balance, I don't miss it.

Ask was the first q and a site I ever joined. I loved if there, and met some nice people. Most of them are here now. The only thing I miss now is that it seemed like every 2 minutes, there was a new question to answer. Questions are not asked that often here.

I don't miss it. There, I was just another user. Here, I actually consider many users friends. The only thing I liked was a mobile app; that's it.
