Philosophy
mmogle is question and answer site for MMO player that's free. Free to ask questions, free to answer questions, free to read with no scammy cloaking tactics, popup- or pop-under ads, no salespeople, no JavaScript windows dropping down in front of the answer asking for $12.95 to go away. You can register if you want to collect karma and win valuable flair that will appear next to your name, but that's not a requirement. Some people would describe mmogle as a fusion between a Wiki, your typical Forum and Digg.
Keep in mind: We don't run this site. You do. mmogle is collaboratively built and maintained by your fellow gamers. Once the system learns to trust you, you'll be able to edit anything, much like Wikipedia. With your help, we can build good answers to every imaginable gaming question together.
mmogle is as frictionless and painless to use as we could make it. We believe finding the right answer to your questions should be as easy as falling into the pit of success. And maybe even a little fun along the way.
Stackoverflow.com Deja Vu wtf?
Correct! The initial version of mmogle was indeed a clone of the popular programmer Q&A site Stackoverflow.com but implemented using different technology.
In the back of my head I've always had the desire to build a Q&A site for MMO Gamers with a clearly defined mission and strong quality control - I was just not confident with the technology. And when I read this article by Jeff Atwood (the creator of stackoverflow) I thought to myself - "Ok let's see how long this will take". Well, the answer is: About four weeks work in my spare time. Which can be largely attributed to my decision to go with the fantastic Grails Framework and jQuery as technological base.
