Q: Best StackExchange site for asking about Amazon AWS

I have several questions about setting up Amazon AWS (Virtual Private Cloud/VPC, Load Balancers/ELB) -- I see a lot of questions relating to AWS on SO, but my questions aren't really programming question, more specific questions about how to set up Amazon. Which StackExchange site should I use?

actually, we can test it

Yes - it is plagarized.

if it's plagiarized, you can custom flag it

Lynn Crumbling

It's not taken from an SO post.. but word-for-word from another site.

lemme see if there's attribution.

yep

still plagiarism if there's no attribution

Doesn't appear to be; raising flag.

@gunr2171 Do you think it'll make a difference to the mods?

There's another issue here: this answer describes re-flowing a 360 or ps3.. not modding a unit for better cooling. It doesn't answer the question.

Is there a way around the following problem? Recent feature changes to Stack Exchange turned over a new leaf to 2015, yet still has 2014 as the accepted answer... As of now, no (sorted) view of the answers lists 2015 at the top, which sucks.

The OP has to reselect a new post as "the answer" every year, or not select an answer at all, or there should be a capability for a moderator to select an answer in a community wiki post (say).

Any suggestions?

Undo

that's a specific enough case that we shouldn't be designing for it

@Werner flag for mod (=employee on meta) attention, to remind them to flip the answer as they promised.
