@ItamarGreen fun example of a stack. :)
 
which one? the gun?
 
Yeah
Memorable
 
The best part is that it's really like the asker's comment: it comes from the hebrew translation of stack (in programming context). It literally translates into a gun magazine
 
Haha the idea comes very easily, then :)
 
yes. But as I wrote I thought of more examples.

You can always add more examples to your answer
 
I might add some more, when I have time to think of really clever ones

Q: Teachers: share your knowledge

heatherOccasionally, there are crazy question-answer ratios because of users who mostly answer questions - these people obviously have tons of knowledge they can share. With this in mind, since we want to increase the number of questions asked, I thought I'd point out that self-answering is encouraged b...

Downtime? Huh. Well, I'm off to bed. I'll be back in about 8 hours ;)

@heather Please don't post ads that have nothing to do with the community. The relevance of CS teaching to security is marginal. CS teaching is not relevant at all to Emacs users.
@BenI. No, the point of community ads is to advertise things that are relevant to the community. Other SE communities are only one of the things that can be advertised, if they're relevant to the community where you're advertising.
Computer Science Educators is directly relevant to Computer Science and Theoretical Computer Science, and marginally relevant on several other sites, but don't go advertising on completely irrelevant sites.
 
What about the candidate ad on AU?
 
@Gilles I've seen ads that are irrelevant but could be interesting to people on that site
 
@heather If they're irrelevant, downvote them.
 
irrelevant but interesting.
there are plenty of not-physics ads on the physics thread, but they're all things that could be interesting to PSE members.
 
You may also flag them but there's no consensus on whether moderators should delete irrelevant ads or let the community decide.
@heather An ad doesn't have to be about the topic of the community, but it has to be relevant to the community.

@Gilles and it's the upvotes/downvotes on the post that decide relevance. your downvote (or at least, I assume it's yours) is one vote cast.
 
For example, advertising a LaTeX resource on Physics makes sense, because many physicists write papers in TeX as part of their job. Advertising a car repair resource wouldn't make sense, even though many physicists drive a car, because driving a car is not relevant to a physicist in their activity as a physicist.

Q: Appropriate content for community ads

GillesLaunched Stack Exchange sites display ads picked by the community. On Stack Overflow, these ads are specifically for open source projects. On SU, SF and Stack Exchange 2.0 sites, there is no particular constraint; the suggestions include “anything else your community would genuinely be interested...

@heather an unrelated SE site falls between “Broader announcemenets not really specific to that community — DEBATABLE” and “Commercial applications and services that are more advertisement than announcement — BAD”
 
@Gilles I would argue it's not quite completely unrelated.
 
@heather Your argument should be in the ad.
Really when you advertise on multiple sites the ads should be tailored to the community.
 
okay.
 
10:24 PM
@Gilles Thank you for that clarification.
