I'm not sure why other companies even use forums instead of StackExchange.

I'm not sure why other companies even use forums instead of StackExchange.
- DanBC 13y agoIt's vaguely scary to think people will be putting all their traditional forum stuff in SE or Reddit. Yahoo, Myspace, and Digg all used to be pretty big.
- Already__Taken 13y agowhy not reddit? Topical threaded conversation like miles better then the classic forums, they can't die fast enough.
- DanBC 13y agoReddit is great. People used to say that about Yahoo search, and about Digg.
- MichaelGG 13y agoSE is poorly suited to actual discussions and any back-and-forth sort of troubleshooting.
- flipchart 13y agoSO also doesn't fully endorse[1] using it as a support forum per se. [1] http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/3966/is-it-okay-to-use-stack-overflow-as-the-support-forum-for-a-product-or-project
- nknighthb 13y agoI would not do business with any company that puts their customers at the mercy of SE's toxic culture.
