The Internet Oracle has spawned a sub-breed of question-answer website exemplified by the Conversatron, and the now defunct Forum 2000, Forum3000 and TrueMeaningOfLife.com, among many others. These share the following characteristics:
- Answers are provided not by users, but by an individual or group of individuals.
- The group of responders stay largely behind the scenes, attributing responses to various characters or culture references.
- Multiple answers are frequently given to each question.
- Each answer is accompanied by a picture or icon of the character to which the answer is attributed.
