AllExpertsReviews 27

I answered 1000's of questions on this site about Science Fiction, Sci-fi robots and people looking to find the titles of obscure films and TV shows they had from past memories. Sad to see it gone. AS Experts we were not given an explanation why it was closing on that it was. All our answers appear to be gone without being archived, which is annoying. I am still answering questions though, now on Quora.

(I am answering questions still on Sci-fi films & TV series, Marvel Comics Cosmic Characters, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Finding Films and TV series (Sci-fi &Fantasy)

Iam surprised about sudden disappearance of the site all experts.com, i was an expert on plastic surgery and it was a pleasure to have been associated with this site, iam very sad at the sudden disappearance and want to know how i can continue answering questions and help people

I gave them 3 stars even though if still open they would get 5 stars. 3 stars is because they closed without warning. I never received my last answer and you are unable to view the archives. I found this site 10 yrs ago. It was my go to place to get my questions answered without searching the web for hours and getting 100 different unhelpful opinions! I am sad to see them go. I real hope another site will pick up where allexperts.com left off and abandoned!

While I understand that some sites don't last forever, AllExperts was a great place to get answers to literally any questions. I started volunteering as I was sick of the condescending attitudes and answers that were provided on a number of forums by others in my industry. It was an opportunity for me to give back and as I understood that in the majority of the cases (probably 99%) questioners WERE looking for real answers, it gave me the chance to provide real time information.
I'm still kind of in shock and withdrawal at not having the questions and answers, and I have been contacted by a number of people who were regular followers and readers, even though they may not have had questions.

Unfortunately the site did end, though with VERY little warning to the questioners or volunteers, and it appears that there is no access to the millions of archived answers. The site owners closed the site with no explanation which left many of us with numerous unanswered questions.

If any of you still have questions concerning antique safes that you would like answered you can still send them directly to me at: *******@securitysafeusa.com I'll do my best to provide the same level of service that you got through AllExperts but please be patient and understand that my answers through AllExperts was done in my OFF TIME, now your questions will be coming to me during working hours - and of course WORK comes first.

Thank you for all of the support over the past 8 years that I was volunteering.

I started at Allexperts.com in Oct. 1999 until the day it closed shop without any notice to me until the day before it closed last Friday. I answered 4000+ questions if you counted the ones I answered through direct reply for many of the follow up questions that came to me in the early years. I always answered to the best of my ability... never abused anyone and was always humble and apologetic when my real job or other life issues slowed my response time. I had folks return to me multiple times and even some returned many years after a previous question was posed. I took my volunteer service seriously but tried to be casual and generous with my time. I truly feel bad and surprised that others had bad experiences with the site but in the nitch I was in my feedback was always positive and well received. I also feel bad for those who I will no longer be able to help and the habit of serving others via the website now is quiet. I did have the satisfaction of answering one last question two nights before the site closed. I wish it had kept going as it was personally satisfying to help others in need who couldn't afford to hire an expert.

Sincerely,

Dr. Subramaniam, expert in economics is a is a research oriented person. His answers are thought provoking, of use to the person who asked the question, the public, government and others. His answers were never ordinary and simple chats as the case with other experts in all other ields. From 2006, he has answered 615 questions with a prestige point of 3790. His knowledge, clarity and politeness is almost close to 10. His academic and professional background are excellent. Hee should be a TOP Expert.

I've answered over 5000 questions and concerns over the years, as well as using the service myself to ask questions of others.
As an "asker", I've found it to be an excellent jumping off point to dig for deeper answers to my questions, as well as resolving other questions I've had.
As an "answerer" I've found most people to be articulate and serious, what drives me nuts are the ones who don't use punctuation, or keep coming back to me seeking a different answer that more suit their needs, rather than listening to what the facts might be.

I asked Teri Davis Newman of St. Louis, MO a question on this service. I asked a question and when she replied, all she did was talk about herself. I did not give her a favorable evaluation because of it and she wrote back and was quite abusive. What a mean spirited, angry person. She boasts she went to "charm school" as a child. And she volunteers in the etiquette and manners section. She did not demonstrate charm or manners to say the least.

I went to allexperts to ask a question about a photograph. I found the "expert" David Silver and just asked him a few simple questions, such as the date and what type of photograph it is. Here is the conversation:

Hello! The expert can't answer your question.

Your Question was:

Can you tell me what type of photo this is? It looks really old but after reading up on the Internet I am worried it could be fake. The Image is large and is made of a thin card board. Please let me know. Thank you.

Following is the reason:

There's nothing special about it. A common paper print, large size, mounted under a slightly magnifying glass, was once in a fancy wood frame, typical of zillions of similarly presented round family and children portraits created by photographers all over the world from the 1890's into the 1930's. If somebody was going to make a "fake" photograph, why would they fake something that was essentially worthless? In truly excellent condition, well preserved in the complete original frame, these sorts of portraits can sell for $50 to $250 depending on the quality of the image. Some collectors might pay slightly more for images of blacks or other minorities, but the images still have to be a lot more special than just a couple of unknown children staring back at the camera in uninspiring poses. This is NOT a very good photograph. And it's not in the best condition either. It's basically a $20 flea market item.

Is this for real?

This site is the worse site. Some of the volunteers judge you without even knowing you, insult you and put down where you shop.

Jacquelynn Cunliffe is a volunteer who insulted me and I want to report her.

In her answer to me she told me I am buying junk clothes at the thrift stores. She was very insulting. I want her removed from this site and an apology via allexperts. She was telling me that I dont value myself because I buy my clothes at the thrift store. I told her off.

All my clothes are from the thrift store but I only buy the great quality clothes - I have the knack.

This site is both good and bad, mostly bad. Most experts are supposed to be experts in the category they are assigned to, however, most of the time I get a response "But this is outside of my expertise" In addition each category is broken down way to much. Many times I am not sure which subcategory to pick. In the senior area they do not have a subcategory on seniors in general only on Medical - why? Also too many experts go on vacation and then you really dont have anyone to answer your question. This site needs to be revamped totally

To the people who are saying it is a free site so what do you want, it doesnt matter if it is free or not you want good advice and you want it on time and you want the experts to be experts in the category they were assigned to, you do not want to read "But this is outside of my expertise". If this is the case then dont claim to be an expert in that category.

I really don't understand some people giving bad reviews. All Experts is excellent. It's a FREE service so what is it with some people complaining. The experts give their time free and help others. I have used them for a range of questions from computer and network problems to questions about photography and other stuff and in general terms, I found the free service to be excellent. I saw someone say forget "Yahoo Answers" and I agree. This is far superior in every way. You might not always get what you want but personally I'm so grateful to these people for saving my skin a number of times. For that I say THANK YOU.

Very poor only gave a one star rating to get review on site. I used to be an expert on this site when it first started. Recently I asked various experts simple questions. One got back to me within 48 hours and said 'might be' in answer to my question, and then demanded to know why I had only marked her 2/10 for response.
The other 4 have taken ten days plus to respond with a 'this expert is not able to answer the question'. Fair enough but does that have to take ten days and one even had the nerve to direct me to a site where I could pay him to get an answer!
It did not used to be like this. I used to spend hours responding and following up with people on the health page. Seems like no-one can be bothered. Or have I just hit unlucky with all five respondents having a busy/bad few days?
