| Jun 3, 2013 at 13:50 | comment | added | TheCleaner | I side (I think) with @tombull89 - if the issue is centric to Virtualbox being the issue it is OT. If the issue has nothing to do with the type of VM sandbox it is running on, then the question should stand (or fall) on other factors at that point. | |

| May 30, 2013 at 7:18 | comment | added | Rob Moir | Each question should stand or fall on its own merits: While just about every VirtualBox question I've ever read has been crap and many of them have been so bad as to make me want to question the sanity of the asker (much like the product itself, to be honest), there's no doubt that its possible to ask an on topic virtualbox question. In theory at least. | |

| May 29, 2013 at 21:35 | comment | added | Zoredache | The most common virtualbox questions, and the ones I hate, are all mostly related to trivial questions about how to setup the network. Instead of using a bridged interface 'they' choose NAT, and then ask questions where answer is 'DONT USE NAT'. If you eliminate all the crappy network related questions, almost nothing is left. So my simple suggestion is, that if they are using NAT/HOST mode for their interface, then the question gets killed. Everything else can be decided case-by-case. | |

| May 29, 2013 at 21:27 | comment | added | tombull89 | innocent whistle don't know who flagged that. Nope, not at all. I think now while VB is entirely unsuited to production enviroments for a dev or test lab working on "proof of concept" it's fair game in my opinion. If it is a VirtualBox issue then that would then be off-topic as you're unlikely to use that "properly". | |
