Pros
Cons
Con Membership Fee
Whilst some information is displayed to non-members, to participate in asking or answering incurs a fee. This is bad for members and non-members alike, as in addition to blocking non-members from using the service, it restricts the pool of users from which answers may be gathered.
Con Closed (mostly) - only an unaffiliated Japanese version remains online
Con Very low quality of answers
Highly unreliable answers - often the answer doesn't even properly address the question.
Con Yahoo! account required
Both asking and answering questions require a Yahoo! account.
Con Single answer picked randomly as "Best answer"
The window to answer question - and to rate answers - is very short, the website will just close the question and designate a "best answer'" randomly.
