Blurtit

The owner has done nothing for years. The proof is everywhere. It's evidenced by zero (0) topic updates in over 2 years, and no moderation to enforce the Code of Conduct. Racist name calling (I won't repeat here) and bullying really increased in 2020 when a banned member logged into a friend's account and posted abuse after abuse. There are calm spells, but nothing is removed and fresh abuse inevitably comes. The owner has been contacted on several occasions. No response. No care. How can he abide? His pretty words of "conduct" are meaningless. If he is done caring he should shut it down so it can't do any more harm.

Site design and layout is great, unfortunately that is the only good thing about this site. It's name, "Blurtit," is very apt. People cavalierly give glib advice about all sorts of sensitive topics with a lot less input from quality control mechanisms than the leading Q&A sites. There are no user profiles for users to proffer their credentials or qualifications. There are no citings of sources.

Their About page says they (whoever they are, it never discloses) "wanted to create a new online community which would allow people from all over the world to share their knowledge" and that they brought the site into production in June of '06 "after months of hard work and research." I find this humorous as their claim to have put a lot of effort into this site seems to be a bit wanting in credibility.

Skip this site for one of their numerous competitors.

I've been a member of the site for four years and the experience is great there, that's why I stayed around for that long. Some questions used to be a little weird but the nature of the questions really improved over the time frame I've been around the site. The other two reviews are probably being based off of one question they saw or a 5-minute visit they had to the site. It's really a great site, with a very friendly, helpful community, and the site has great questions with a lot of high-quality answers. Five stars out of five from me!
