You can't even go there and buy them for your lunch because Subway sandwiches are eat-immediately sandwiches. They get soggy and gross really fast and make me want to vomit.

Blog - Stack Exchange: Vote Fraud and You
Jeff Atwood on December 23, 2008

As we discovered in the Stack Overflow podcast with the Reddit guys, they have a hidden mechanism for detecting and defeating revenge voting patterns. I suppose it’s a measure of how naive we are, but this wasn’t even on our radar.

Well, now it is.

If you irritate another user, they might be having a bad day and decide to take it out on you by methodically going through and downvoting every post you’ve made. The impact of this is pretty limited on Stack Overflow, as you only get 30 votes per day, and upvotes are +10 while downvotes are only -2 (and -1 to the votee). …

Stop before it's too late!!

elcucoFirst of all, please don't offended from the title, and if you don't know what this is follow this link for an audio quote: http://is.gd/54IyU The question is this: I have seen online communities over the years, and the amount of foul language is really high. People are not polite to each others...

discussion community etiquette
I see you're trying to form a cohesive argument against the stone-set policy regarding the usage of profanity within the Creative-Commons-licensed content of StackOverflow (which happens to be more of a metaphorical dictatorship rather than a democracy) by appealing to the sense that the greater good is freedom of speech and expression, regardless of what the status-quo considers 'professional'. You should totally drop that and try jQuery. — snicker Nov 27 '09 at 20:06

Blog - Stack Exchange: When a Site Grows Quiet
Shog9 on April 25, 2012

In the lifecycle of a Stack Exchange site, we’ve long held the philosophy that “it takes as long as it takes” to build a sustainable community:

The simple answer is, it takes as long as it takes. We’ll wait. If a site needs more activity, go out and evangelize it. As long as your site shows steady progress and continues to make the Internet a better place to get expert answers to your questions, it will march on.

But when a site struggles to maintain any semblance of steady progress — when it’s struggling to garner an audience, a healthy core of experts, and a steady stre …

I'm (re) learning the flute on my own, so I hope music.SE stays alive.. Havent yet asked, but will do so. Lots of questions
IMO they should give us time to salvage questions. TP.SE and Astro overlap Phy.SE, so we could take in some questions, I guess
They ought to close the sites for posting but leave moderation--mainly migration--open for at least a month
 
jadarnel27

@Manishearth That's the one thing the site really needs, is more good questions. there seem to be alot of engaged answerers.
