It’s Friday night and a fairly new site. It will become more active with time.

Please don't start that...

This site has had more activity on it, then any of the other renditions of the site, other than the original... and even then it has about the same activity as the original when it changed.

Things will get better with time.

Don’t worry too much about it. :)

The other site was around for over 10 years before many people found. So be a little patient. ;)

The original site was also somewhat more restrictive regarding content, which was a pain in the ***ass.

When did the original Help.com start anyway? It was really active when I found it around 2002 or so. Maybe I didn't find it until 2005, heck I don't know.

I’m pretty sure it started early 90’s- though it got a steady stream of updates before it looked anything like how we know it to be. I believe it even started as a forum/helpdesk on one of the big sites and gradually transitioned more. I can’t remember where I found those pages though.

It was about 2004/5 that I found the site.
I was sat in a library on Shetland island using a public computer, trying desperately to find help for my then partner, and in frustration at repetitively drawing blanks, typed HELPPPPP into the search bar
And that was the start of my addiction to help.

Ummmm 2007? Or 2006? I can’t remember. I searched help and have been on/off since then.

I was addicted immediately, but couldn't get fully into the last one that held no similarities to the original.

I went on daily when I was made a moderator as I was the only English one so when I got on at 06.00 it was down to me to remove all the spam as the Americans wouldn't be around for hours, but after a while even the spammers stopped and I had too much going on in my life I withdrew from everything

Everyone wanted to be a mod except me, I think, for exactly that reason. Seemed like a lot of work to commit to and I knew I wouldn’t be able to.

I hope you’re not the only English one now! There doesn’t seem to be any spam here.

I'm not a mod on this one.

As far as I know they don't have any mods on this time zone.

The original site wasn't too bad for spam, but they went.to town on the other one

You tag them with the @ sign then type their name.
If they aren’t already on the post, they’ll be invited. :)

Because I am already subscribed to this post, it doesn’t ”invite” me- but if I weren’t, I would have been invited. 🙂
