May 28, 2013 at 12:16 comment added the-wabbit @gparent running without the "professional" requirement would not mean that the sites would merge. I do not see many SAN or Exchange questions on Superuser. There might be significant overlap in networking, but consumer-grade stuff is run in small businesses too and we get similar questions here. A mere topical separation probably would hurt much and likely not lower the overall quality of questions and answers on the site.

May 24, 2013 at 20:28 comment added gparent To add to what Zoredache is saying, I certainly enjoy -not- having to look at superuser.com worthy questions all day on the serverfault.com front page. I don't have a very impressive rep here, but I wouldn't stay if the two sites were merged.
May 20, 2013 at 22:44 comment added the-wabbit @voretaq7 I tend to omit Apache questions and surely do not look at the corresponding tag views. But from the question tags I read, indeed a large part can be answered by reading the fine manual or another type of reference documentation. People just don't know where to look. This does not make the questions illegitimate or less valuable, though.
May 20, 2013 at 15:52 comment added voretaq7 Mod @syneticon-dj Have you SEEN the customized view of Apache questions lately? Every single one of them is a candidate to be bludgeoned with the manual...

May 18, 2013 at 11:35 comment added the-wabbit @Zoredache I do not know. The experts seem not to be repelled by the other SE sites front pages. Maybe the experts would not even look at the front page in the first place but use customized views or an RSS reader so the looks of the front page would not matter to them. Should I just go over to Meta.SO and ask?
May 18, 2013 at 10:11 comment added Zoredache The point is to get the experts to the site, and keep them here. Do you think the experts will stay if the front page was filled with questions about how to forward ports on their crappy home linksys router?
