We already have witcoin, this seems like exactly the same thing without the tiny fees.

Agreed with stack overflow format. Web forums suck.

About a week passed, so I'm bumping this thread.
We got 27 followers out of the required 60 - almost half way there!

Keep following & sharing to get this going.

+1

And if you raged at a newbie today, you definitely need to find 5 more followers for the proposal!!!

Except for the tiny fact that stackexchange is already known, trusted and loved by millions of computer programmers.

Stack overflow is great. The interesting thing is to separate the good answers from the bad. On a forum thread with say 15 pages and 245 responses it is not easy to separate the quality from the garbage. Some kind of voting system to vote up the best contribution and then somehow being able to sort the posts in a thread on a "value ranking" would be something to consider.

But that being said, I love forums, even if they sometimes are ineffective. I think it is a great way to communicate.

But I think the thread starter missed out a little bit. If someone is serious about making a site with a service, get a good domain name. Then just go for it. Either the site will be a success or a failure, either way a domain name is something you need to look professional. And make it easy to use. If people always have to register to vote and submit text, then many won't even bother.

Good luck with the site, I wish you all the best!

I like it.  If it becomes popular and useful, I'd suggest linking to it from the bitcoin.org front page.

Bumping the thread again.

Also, you need to vote on on and off topic questions for this proposal to move ahead.
A question is considered on/off topic if it receives 20 such votes.

To clarify, for those of you who don't know how the "Area 51" site works:

a question doesn't count towards the needed limit until it receives at least 20 on- or off- topic votes.  So don't just add questions unless you have a really good one--look through and vote up the ones that will best define the boundaries of what the site should be.
