This is now the case on younger sites of the StackExchange network. For instance, <http://french.stackexchange.com/unanswered> http://french.stackexchange.com/unanswered> is pretty much always empty.
- hasenj 14y agoSO used to have new questions every 20 minutes or so. The French Exchange seems to have (on average) few questions per day.
- m_myers 14y agoSO now has new questions every 20 seconds or so (not an exaggeration - an understatement if anything). A high percentage are still answered, but in absolute terms, the number of unanswered questions is obviously increasing.
