| Jun 20, 2012 at 14:40 | comment | added | studgeek | I just don't see how it helps either site community, or more importantly the general user community to have questions on a topic like quicksilver split between the two sites with no clear guidance to the user on which one to choose other than each site saying "we like our community better". Perhaps both site's definitions could be clarified a bit ("computer enthusiasts" vs "apple power users" doesn't help). In the end it seems to me this question would be better asked/discussed in MetaStackOverflow/Area51 where it can be discussed with the larger cross-site community in mind. | |

| Oct 28, 2010 at 13:18 | comment | added | DMA57361 | Because the users asked them here, maybe because this is the site they found, maybe by choice. Speaking personally for a second, I would much rather ask any of these question types (if I needed to) here on SU, where I'm actively involved, and not be shoved to some other site I'm not at all interested in. Back on track: migration or close-and-ask-the-user-to-repost are quite heafty actions to take against a question, and the risks driving some (newer?) users away. If the questions are asked here, does it matter as long as they are still getting good answers? | |
| Oct 28, 2010 at 13:09 | comment | added | Torben Gundtofte-Bruun | I know that votes are void on meta, that's why it amuses me. Yes, the topics are not specifically off-topic (gaming, gadgets, programming) but why are they HERE when they each have a better home? | |
| Oct 28, 2010 at 12:52 | comment | added | DMA57361 | At a quick glance all eight questions you have suggested look to be on-topic on SU (to me, anyway). That's why they're open. [Sidenote: downvoting on meta usually implies the downvoter simply disagrees with the suggestion / feature request / etc in the post. Remember that on the child meta sites there is no rep cost to either party for downvotes.] | |
| Oct 28, 2010 at 12:37 | comment | added | Torben Gundtofte-Bruun | I find the downvote amusing. This is a discussion in meta... My question remains; why aren't these questions closed/moved/migrated? | |

| Oct 28, 2010 at 12:24 | comment | added | DMA57361 | Additional thought: the Apple.SE site has a slightly wider scope for questions than those "Apple" questions that may currently appear on SU. For example: iPhones/iPods are off-topic on SU (under electronic devices, media players, cell phones or smart phones). And are we (in the community sense) not already doing the first of your either/or suggestions - If it's off-topic it's closed, else left open? Any counter-examples? | |
