You mean they STILL haven't opened that up?

I think it needs a certain amount of people to commit for it to go into beta. I committed but have no frigging clue what the hell it is

IIRC, the proposal failed the last time around. I suppose it looks like there will be as stackexchange site on ham radio, the only question is when.

I was over there yesterday and the admins were there destroying content because the site was full of demonstration questions that weren't really there to be answered yet. Kind of odd.

The only connection between ham radio and Area 51 is Art Bell.

The way most Stack Exchange sites work is that they close 99% of the questions as "Not Constructive."

They have rules where a question should be a question with a specific answer and not an opinion soliciting topic. They do not see themselves as a forum.

Even questions get closed. It's mainly by people that have enough fake Internet points that can control their own little piece of Internet dictatorship. In the end, it's really no different than reddit.

Not in this sub. We tend to let the downvotes do their job and anything removed by the mods is due to spam or violation of the rules of reddit.

I just meant the fake Internet points part.

Have you used Quora? It is now filled with junk questions and poor quality and even incorrect answers.

I experienced it - I asked a question on Stackoverflow - What is Javascript?. The question received a lot of up votes, a lot of down votes and was closed before I could leave the page! Then the moderator helped me rephrase the question and migrate it to programmers.SE
