In the long 40+ year history of "social networking" (with that term construed broadly to mean "anything where people contribute") the most stale, boring, pedantic debates have always been "does this message belong on this forum?" Besides SO have gotten that way, it's why almost no one wants to contribute to Wikipedia. You could almost graph the decline of a forum as directly proportional to the percentage of content that debates that question.
