Hey, "Why are there so few female programmers?" (http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/5780/why-are-there-so-few-female-programmers http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/5780/why-are-...) is still an acceptable question, it's closed, but only because it's a dupe of "Career Prospects: Women at Management positions in Software" (http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/93462/career-prospects-women-at-management-positions-in-software http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/93462/career-...)
Also, while the community in the good old days was certainly vibrant, it wasn't huge, and it's not huge today either. But at least now we're steadily growing: http://www.quantcast.com/programmers.stackexchange.com http://www.quantcast.com/programmers.stackexchange.com
Lastly, I love how you say that the graphs don't include deletions, and one of them (supposedly) show deletions and undeletions. You kinda screwed up the queries there, the graphs don't make sense ;)
- rachel53461 14y agoThat deletions you see on there are items that were deleted and undeleted. Anything that is deleted as of the data dump that those graphs were built on is not displayed. I didn't figure that out until after I posted the graph, and I never bothered to go back and remove the delete/reopen data. The important point I'm trying to make is take a look at the asked and closed graph lines. When a community has to close around 40% of questions, I think something is wrong.
