The sad thing is those volunteers (some try to make a little cash) are exploited by those running the site. The volunteer gets 10$ on paid advice where FIXYA cashes 18$ or something. Easy money Askers decide themselves if they accept the advice or not. They can skip 6 answers aceept the last or whatever. A har worker answers 30 questions a day from which 1 in 10 is rated. Mostly those "experts" are far better ten those expesinve expert sites. And you can look back if your problem has already been discussed. The sites given above never helped me out.

It's actually more a fraud than actual help site. I lost a lot of money over there - my advice would be to keep your distance from expert-exchange!
