Has Quora lost its way?

Please don't use your answer just to explain what's wrong with Quora. The question asks if Quora has lost its way, which implies that it was on the right track but has gone downhill. Make sure you addresses that--the then vs the now. Thanks.

tynamite's avatar Here's something I said somewhere else on Quora.

I don't really have a complaint about the Boards feature. I think it's a really great feature, it's just that I don't really have a use for it. I think that Boards are Quora's attempt of improving the signal to noise on the News Feed, without having the stupid questions eradicated from the website.

They lock everyone into their own silos, so that the intelligent people, stupid question people, and idiotic and incessant teenagers, can all have their place on this website and cohabit peacefully - without interacting with each others questions. The Quora admins are more clever than we give them credit for.

Update

The clue is in the notification emails that Quora gives you.

This email was sent by Quora. Quora connects you with everything you want to know about.
So the answer is no.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
