How much do you owe me?
By the way, the myth that you can't fold a piece of paper more than 7 times has already been comprehensively busted by the busters of myths that I mentioned only yesterday. They achieved 11 using a piece of paper the size of a football field with the possibility that an even larger piece would make more possible yet to be explored.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Ever tried to contribute and respond to a question on the StackOverflow website?
Every time I respond, I get some douche who tries to copy and edit my solution, take credit for my wisdom, and then have me banned from the site by down voting me.
I recently had someone try to edit my solution and modify it as her own, only to have it denied by the last reviewer in the chain.
Thankfully I didn't lose what little reputation points I had accumulated.
What has been your experience?

I am a member of CodeProject, not Stackoverflow. Does that answer your question?

I think you missed what I was trying to say. Could be a language barrier.
What I was trying to say was I would rather be a member of Code Project than Stack Overflow....member. I go to Stack Overflow for answers occasionally, but I don't post there.

This is why I don't contribute there - I had similar experiences when I first joined. Bunch of arrogant, cliquey people who I don't wish to be associated with.
This place was open, friendly, and generally technically more competent.
I am still here...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And if you said what do you mean to answer you did not get nuked! Plus they seem to have some value to their rep points(?)

Every time I look for an example their website pops up, so I look at the solutions.
It cracks me up that they are unable to remove all the stupid irrelevant comments and discussions
AND
remove all the kludgy solutions that do get through their review process.
Too often I see stuff that doesn't pass the sniff test.
I have to scroll through too much spaghetti before, I see one acceptable approach.

Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

No; CP is far superior.

Depends a lot on the tag. Common tags attract both sh*t questions and sh*t people. Tags like x86 aren't so bad.
Useful for finding answers on with google though.

It's basically the same as any mainstream/popular website where people go to get questions. After sites get popular, you get the people who start to go there simply to get internet points, and don't really care if they're actually helping or not.
From my experience, if I can't find a question that was previously answered, I'm not posting my question there. Depending on the question/language you ask in, you can get some really poor answers, but sometimes I've seen those extremely good ones.

It's better that ExpertsExchange, more alive than PlanetSourceCode but not as coherent as CodeProject.
I tend to use it in a read-only capacity.

Sure, but "For God's sake, don't follow the cr@ppy advice they gave you on stack overview" counts as a favourable reference.

I contributed once with a reasonable answer.
My goodness did I regret that - the flamers set in and it became some playground bully fest of a who can be the biggest jerk.
Needless to say I cancelled my account and now merely use it when google takes me there.
There is a serious problem with the ethos of those running the site to as I constantly see good questions being asked and moderators shutting down the question as it has not been phrased correctly - seriously  !
Its one saving grace is that there are a number of technically very helpful solutions to problems on the site.
