This is the mostmon cause to join Quora as far as I know. A brief history! italic Four years ago italic I was searching about something in Google. I don remember what it was I clicked the first from the search results. It led me to Quora. I did not know what Quora was. I read the answer anyway. I got my doubt cleared by the answer. The answer was really useful. So I wanted to thank the answer person. I tried to upvotement the answer (I don remember). But for that action Quora account was needed. I never wanted to join any website (Quora) but still I wanted to thank. So I clicked the Sign in with Facebook button as I always find it difficult to remember different user IDs and passwords for each site. Then I was asked to setup the whole account. I did everything patiently and finally turned off myputer without upvoting the answer. I did not remember anything about Quora after then. After one year again I came to Quora. I didn remember the previous encounter. I was surprised to see that I already had an account. After 6 months from the second encounter I started writing answers. So this is the story how I joined Quora. Now Ive written nearly 375 answers and getting 3 K views per month. But that doesn really matter. Just do what you can do. Contribute to make Quora a better place. Just like me most of the people join Quora without their knowledge (unknowingly). After then they find themselves having an account in it. Theyll find Quora somewhat useful. They read answers. Eventually theyll start writing. In your case you may be experiencing your second encounter. You may already have visited Quora and created an account may be using your existing facebook account. Now youve started asking questions definitely youll read answers. And I guess soon youll start writing too! By the way Wee to Quora. italic
