From an old Reddit post of mine:
Your reply has been Cursed to Hades for not being stack overflowy enough, even though it was the accepted answer, and has received hundreds of votes. Also the whole question has been Excommunicated for not being mumblemumblemumble enough. Even though it was the highest voted question of all time, with thousands of responses from beloved members of the community. You both should feel ashamed of yourselves.

I love that they wanted to be an answers site. I hate that they forgot sometimes the answers people desperately need are, "What do you think is the right way to do this?" Or, "What's your favorite solution to this problem?" It could have been another Stack Exchange site, sure. But they just didn't do it. And they should have.
