For a tool that's designed to document problems for a given technology, and ensure uniqueness of the question, isn't this what we should expect?

When I use Stackoverflow now I'm rarely writing a question, I'm usually relying on an answer that already exists.

The alcohol stack is a great example of this. Absolutely dead now because all of the questions have been asked.

Part of what makes a healthy online community is allowing topics to be brought up again. It lets people talk about new things, let's people ask about different details, and engages people who may not have seen the previous questions.

Stackoverflow has decided they're a knowledgebase and not a forum, which I think is proving to be a bad decision for them.
