[ServerFault](http://www.serverfault.com/) contains numerous questions, some dating back 2+ years, that were on-topic when posted but have become off-topic due to changes in our standards for acceptable questions. This is particularly true of questions seeking product recommendations and software licensing advice. Examples: * [Cheap but highly available shared storage](http://serverfault.com/questions/24036/cheap-but-highly-available-shared-storage) * [Would you recommend Windows Vista?](http://serverfault.com/questions/9871/would-you-recommend-windows-vista) * [Recommend server hardware](http://serverfault.com/questions/84844/recommend-server-hardware) * [Active Directory Licensing](http://serverfault.com/questions/13956/active-directory-licensing) * [Terminal Server Licensing with citrix?](http://serverfault.com/questions/281026/terminal-server-licensing-with-citrix) Questions: 1. Have we created a situation wherein ServerFault *in effect* offers only outdated advice when it comes to product recommendations and software licensing? 2. Over the long term, could this situation have a negative impact on our recommendation as a best practice community? 3. Should there be an organized campaign to flag and remove old questions have become off-topic due to changes in our rules?
