No, AskMe.com was started and run by some refugees from Microsoft that had this idea for knowledge management software. As a way to promote their product they started askme.com as a free, public Q & A site. Once they started to get customers and generate revenue, the need for the "demo" site was reduced. More and more resurces were siphoned away from the public site until a decision was made to cut it off completely. This was at the end of 2002. In its wake some other Q&A sites popped up. This was one of them. This site specifically "borrowed" its name and category structure from askme.com, even down to using some very similar screens.
