This question is about IPv9, asking specifically if there is a history for the famous April Fool's joke and the Chinese adoption story. It was closed as off topic in a surprisingly short time by a number of users and no one actually had the politeness to take a little time to comment why they downvoted or voted to close.. I really think the community negative interaction is a very good indication of the bad quality of the question, however, I thought it may be more appropriate to close as not constructive or something of the like. Why it was considered off topic? I've read through the FAQ and reviewed some meta question but I really don't get why a question asking about a network protocol history is considered off topic here? What exactly makes it off topic? Isn't not constructive more appropriate? (actually I was ready for the not constructive with all my arguments!)...

EDIT: I think the question was moderated out of the site.. Thank you all for your interaction...
