It's ... sort of a text-mode chatroulette, but with presumed roles of the asker (supplicant) and responder (Oracle), a protocol for asking (#INCLUDE grovel) and answering questions, and a presumption that what is being submitted is in fact a question, with a voting mechanism for best responses.

Best question-response pairs were curated weekly and at longer intervals, in a digest. Those were absolutely delightful to read.

TL;DR: Like "Ask HN", but very, very, very different.

You owe the Usenet Oracle a pint of maudlin.
