List the crappiest websites you know here. (warning: potentially NSFW)
J-Mac:
I actually have an account with Experts Exchange, though I am not sure it is still active. Way back when I joined most people didn't have to pay anything but instead could collect "points" for providing selected answers/solutions. Of course it was kinda like S&H Green Stamps - I remember seeing something like "You now have 550 points toward your Expert goal of 6,000,000,000 points." However whenever I clicked on a Google search result and ended up there I could always log in and see all the replies/answers. I don’t know if that is still the case though.
As for About.com, I have seen some marginally helpful pages but TBH most of the time their "experts" aren't really that at all and instead have a page full of very broad brush summary information. I have only seen a few comprehensive categories there.
Thank you.
Jim

Posted earlier about godaddy...for one of my old domains I have as contact a @canada.com address. @canada.com email is shutting down in a few weeks.
Please someone try and edit your email (registrant, administrator, etc.) on godaddy. Still can't do it, some gibberish about a 'preset profile'. I hope it's me who is dumb because otherwise ::)

(On a positive note I tweeted about it and @godaddy replied to my tweet)

i've seen lots of good info on about.com pages; in fact i'd go so far as to say it's one of the rare cases where i get the feeling that the people maintaining the pages actually care about providing good and useful information.

Ok, yes, mouser is right. I have come across some good info there. I guess my complaint is more with the presentation...it's borderline annoying to me. Ok ok...I think i was a little hard on about.com. My main complaint is that, yes, there's pretty decent information there, but not the definitive kind of information that a real expert would give. It's more like an overview. Also, another thing that bothers me is that their links are always very prominent in google searches, and other more helpful articles will not be so easy to find. It's not about's fault, so I shouldn't say they are shitty. I'll revise that. My bad. Overreaction.

I'm late to the party as always. Just wanted to put in 2 cents. I started using about.com when I found my grammar wasn't quite as perfect as I'd long believed it to be. They were very helpful. Now may grammar is perfect :)

This has got to be the crappiest website I've ever seen. I'd forgotten about it years ago but this thread made me remember it.
THANKS A LOT! >:(

This could scar you for life. You have been warned.But tub girl is worse. If you don't know what it is, please don't even google it. If you can't stop your curiosity, then just read about it from Wikipedia or someplace rather than having to actually see it.
EDIT: And just to clarify, doodie.com is relatively safe for viewing (but maybe NSFW), being just generally a lot of "bathroom humor." What's in the spoiler, however, is absolutely disgusting and horrifying.
