Looking at "What topics can I ask about here?" and comparing to what's actually going on on the site I sometimes wonder if it's what it's supposed to be.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'd think someone would not be doing their jobs or anything (there are no real jobs anyway) but IMHO there's still too much slack for the really unprofessional questions (again see "on topic" as well as the "good question"). But then, how much would be left if they were gone?

And furthermore, once the really complicated questions get raised, there rarely are answers. So, what does that mean? Are there simply too few actual professional administrators here and/or is the site not attracting exactly those people. So where are they? And what could be done to improve that?

Maybe the scope of the site is too broad? But I must agree that that's what it's intended to be. Otherwise I could just go to the communities of the major vendors, where not many pros are circulating either one has the impression... Hell, I'm not online all day either solving other people's problem because I'm getting paid dealing with those of my own...

Oh and by the way I think conceptual questions should be more welcome than they are now. But I believe that is another discussion.

Just wondering about all this.
