Are RaspberryPi's ever on topic for ServerFault?
NO
To expand:
We're already leery of questions about home routers... they could conceivably be on-topic if it's a sysadmin trying to make remote access work, but few (if any) of the home router ques …

Where did all the admins on Server Fault go?
I think the knee-jerk reaction that "it's meta, it has to be on meta" and "this is a dup of Jeff's question about growing the SF community" are a problem.
This isn't a dup of "how to grow" it's more …

Is it appropriate to ask about choice of software on SF?
For email client questions, for me it would depend on whether it looks like a personal question ("what IMAP clients can I use w/ Gmail?") or a business network question ("for (obscure reason) we can't …

How to attract more professionals?
Getting some MS MVPs on here would give a bigger pool of experts for the MS questions. I have the impression that there aren't a lot of MVPs, but the one time I tried to find out, the question was mo …

Should we try to eliminate password reset questions?
I started to say, "I think that recent question you quoted is a legitimate one," but then I re-read it and now I'm not sure.
On the one hand, the reference to going outside the domain sounds legit, …

I love the dialog box that pops up now: Did I read through the more than 30 answers this question already has? I sure did, and my answer is going to be the same as most of the others:

Why is there no Server Fault Twitter account?
Who needs twitter? All the cool sysadmins are constantly on SF and chat, hitting refresh endlessly, like a chipmunk on speed.

A small discrepency in the color tags at the bottom of the site
Somewhere on meta.SO, there's a question and answer about this (I thought it was a question I asked or commented on, but I can't find it). Basically, they started putting the little colour blocks on …

Downvoting really old questions?
It's fair, morally right, and acceptable. Depending on how you look at SF or any other SE site, you're quite likely to come across old questions (bumped by Community, listed as Related to a current q …

Is it reasonable/possible to further discourage down voting?
I think the change that made downvotes on Questions "free" happened before you signed up, so that's not it. (Before the change, it cost the downvoter a point of rep, now it doesn't.)
