I guess I don't understand, it seems like a family reunion here, but there are very few members,what am I missing?

Is this a gig from the past? Did the internet police shut something down previously? I have a family and a good job, should I be concerned? My wife is even more a public figure than most people in our life and I worry because helping others is what we do and to do that we need anonymity, is that truly possible here?

The anonymous feature is anonymous.... as long as you aren't bad that the mods would need to look to see who you are.

Long story short, some guy founded a site called help.com a long long time ago. The site was buzzing and had a lot of regular members who became friends. 3-4 years ago the url was sold and the site shut down. Another popped up with the old members but it wasnt out cozy home or the site we loved, and so it became derelict.

Just over a week ago, a genius managed to launch the new helpqa and the whole family was reunited. And now it seems new members are joining.

Welcome to help-qa :) And yes you can be anonymous.

Welcome to the new and improved Help! Feel free to pull up a beanbag, grab a beverage and get comfy.

On Thursdays, we have a potluck.

True... We have a pot. On Thursdays Rockster removes the lid. If something flies or gets dropped in it, we eat and consider it good luck.

Yes, the old site was founded very much on the principle of anonymous people helping each other out. Welcome to the help family :) !

Whilst you could always choose to be anonymous, mostly we were a close group of friends that helped as best we could.

I think if you stuck around more you'd get to know us better. And if your willing to chime in on other posts it would help us get to know you too.

Try it...
