EE had a scheme where you could answer questions to get free membership; I used that for a while.

I remember getting screwed over but don't remember the details: they locked up the site and I couldn't even access the solutions I'd written anymore. A bit later still they made it appear locked but you could still get to the answers if you knew how (I think that was to get their solutions on Google.

I'd guess it was taken over and someone tried to squeeze the money out, hasn't happened to SO yet.
