@kutschkem Nah the site. People coldly pushing people who ask questions "the wrong" way are valid in the same way that certain teachers were 2000 years ago. Correct, but missing the spirit of things.

Oh that was a fun one to answer. :)

So... can things even be answered if the original poster of the question hasn't been online for awhile?

When flagging a question to be on a different stack exchange, why does it only display ours? sigh

@Wyrsa Is it important for a question whether the one who asked is still around? There are thousands of people who read posts.

For every one person asking a question, there will be many people who have the same question, but don't ask.

Yeah, but as I dig through questions without an accepted answer and see upvoted +50 or +100 I question why it isn't marked as "closed"

@Wyrsa In an SE site, being marked as "closed" is a bad thing; it means at its current state the Q doesn't meet the community policy of that site: it can be not having enough details, it can be "off topic" (i.e. not a topic covered in Christianity.SE, which then may be a candidate for other site), it can be a duplicate, it can be because by nature of the topic or the phrasing of the question it would lead to a subjective answer. Any of those reasons would result in a Q getting "closed".

Now someone may edit the Q enough to be a good candidate, so would vote "Reopen". But when it's in the "closed" state, no-one can contribute an answer to it.

The goal of an SE site is to collect good, vetted questions, worthwhile to keep as an Q&A library. When we understand this, even though the OP is no longer active for years, the Q is still valuable to keep, whether it has an accepted answer or not. I want to thank you @Wyrsa for contributing many answers to eastern-orthodox related questions. If you find a question "missing the spirit of things", you can provide your own question and answer it yourself!
