There isn't much to elaborate on. Anything that doesn't fit completely within their strict no-fun-allowed guidelines gets removed. This leads to two things:
1. Any result on google from StackOverflow is guaranteed to be of the highest quality.
2. I am never ever posting there.
- aneth4 14y agoSounds like a win win. There are hundreds of places for humor on the Internet. I'm pretty happy SO sticks with business. Humor would be distracting and irritating.
- stephengillie 14y agoWhy not Humor Overflow, where people can discuss what is funny and why, or why something isn't funny. Maybe why something is no longer funny -- or is funny in one language or culture, but not another.
- mnicole 14y agoPerhaps it is just the front-end issues I use SO for, but generally the top Google results aren't the most helpful for me; they're just the oldest and had, at one time, the most traction. Given the rate at which things change or other methods fare better, I've started sorting my results by date instead of relevancy and hoping Random Dude's Blog has the right answer. Sometimes you'll get lucky and someone will have posted an updated response, but it's still sitting at the bottom of the page with 0 votes, and my account doesn't have the reputation (due in part to not wanting my posts removed) to upvote them. Quite a cycle.
