| Jul 7, 2017 at 10:46 | comment | added | Adam Arold | Seems like you are trying to urinate against the wind but there is not enough urine anymore. This site shows up as the first entry in the Google search results and there are and there always will be newbies. If you don't like it you can take your stuff and go...just as you stated in your profile. Good riddance I say. The age of BOFHs is over and you are a dying breed. The need for administrators is in decline as well thanks to the devops mindset. Seems like this problem is solving itself at last. | |

| Apr 18, 2017 at 3:54 | comment | added | peterh | Mainly I agree you, but I think the site would need a clearly communicated vision for that. A possible vision is to create an "elite community" of sysadms, with high step-in requirements and with a strong quality control. Another way would be to produce a not so elite, but big, friendly, and not very LQ site. There are many examples for both on the SE, and also for the sites who are simply unable to decide. Imho in all of the cases it would be very important to treat the offtopic content, from cooperative OPs as nicely as it is only possible (i.e. by migrating them). | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 13:34 | comment | added | user143703 | I feel that I've been biting my tongue months trying to be nice as I possibly can while not feeling like this place as nothing but volunteer work. You're right. It does feel quite liberating to simply admit it. I'm not really here for therapy though. Technology and lame insults are my thing. :/ I didn't intend to sound combative or dismissive and I'm glad you didn't take it that way. | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 13:28 | comment | added | Ryan Babchishin | @yoonix It sounds like that answer was something you wanted to say... liberating? Perhaps it is worth discussing if not just so that people like you can say what you have to say? | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 10:11 | comment | added | user143703 | I hear you I'm just pretending you're wrong for a little while longer. I have a long history of staying where I don't want to be because I'm still gonna change the world. Keep the dream alive my friend. | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 10:07 | comment | added | user9517 | Nay, nay and thrice nay old chap. You need to hear what I'm saying and not disagree with me but ... ;) | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 10:02 | comment | added | user143703 | Nah, nothing to get bothered by. More like.. 'I hear ya, and I won't say you're wrong... But I can't say I care.' | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 10:00 | comment | added | user9517 | Anyway it's not worth getting all het up about. SF is long past being in any way anything more than a place for the completely clueless to ask crappy questions. | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 9:58 | comment | added | user9517 | Nice works both ways. I consider it not nice/impolite for people to ask questions without having done any personal research. | |
