As an exercise to the reader, have a look at the questions asked by some of the most prolific question askers on the site (all of who are > 40k users mind you):

- [Kyle Brandt][1] (A Stack Exchange employee and systems administrator)
- [ewwhite][2] (One of the highest repped users on the site)
- [Mark Henderson][3] (me!)

Have a look at how these questions differ from your own. There is a lot of knowledge to be shared on the site, but what you won't find in those questions linked above is "How do I derp" or "My server is herping, and I need it to derp, what CPU should I buy?".
