Stack Overflow started going downhill when they stopped allowing "fun" questions. used to be that I'd go there, ask a question and browse through the questions, seeing which I could answer and also fun ones I could just read for interest and pick up sometimes useful sometimes not bits of information which would lead to other topics and so on. Since then it's just a constant stream of "noob" questions with basically no answers. There's nothing wrong with "noob" questions, the questions I've asked on there are pretty much all "noob" questions as I was first learning about programming. The problem is only having those types of questions and nothing to attract people capable of answering to the site.
