| Jan 27, 2010 at 21:28 | comment | added | quack quixote | @John Saunders: asking how to run some SpaceBook page thru Yahoo Pipes and translating it to French with Google is fine on SU. asking how to set a special background on your MyFace profile isn't. how's that hard to understand? | |

| Jan 25, 2010 at 13:52 | comment | added | John Saunders | @~quack - so, if the application is web-based, it should not be on SU? Sounds like an invalid distinction nowadays, between desktop applications and web-based applications. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 13:08 | comment | added | quack quixote | @John Saunders: i believe somewhere along the line it was decided that we really didn't want SU to become Facebook support. thus, questions about how-to-do-X-on-this-or-that-website are off topic. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 12:53 | comment | added | Troggy | The same concern was brought up a few months ago about migrating to SU, but from SF instead. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/27748/… | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 12:51 | comment | added | John Saunders | Where was this change in policy discussed? I'd love to understand how it was decided to distinguish between web-based applications and desktop applications. | |

| Jan 25, 2010 at 10:48 | comment | added | Gnoupi | I remember even seeing a videogame question migrated to SU by Jeff, a few months ago. So I guess it's not surprising. Even if in my opinion the site has great qualities and is really a great source of information and answers, it is still considered by many for its first purpose: a place to unload all these not programming related questions from SO. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 10:46 | comment | added | Gnoupi | @Ivo - the point is still actual, anyway. Daily indeed we have a bunch of questions migrated on SU, just because it's the default trash can for many SO users. Questions which are not matching to the SU guidelines, but who cares, it's not programming related, nor server, so it has to be for SU! People voting that are not using SU, often, so they don't even know they're wrong, they don't even know the faq from this site. | |
