Is it gated by reputation? If so, could you please post the full comments somewhere?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I actually think StackExchange is quite well designed to optimize for good questions and answers. Such as TFA! But the way they delete chatrooms is off brand. If you want to incentivize people to chat in chat instead of in comments, make sure chat is actually usable. That means not deleting chatrooms after a few days!

Except for that all the good answers are showing their age and there's no realistic mechanism for them to be replaced with newer answers.

Yes, this is a big weakness. Seems tied in large part to not tackling versions as well as they could have done.

> I actually think StackExchange is quite well designed to optimize for good questions and answers. There's questions and answers on SE? I thought it was just pop-ups and sidebars? (I'm being mildly sarcastic, but I think this screenshot speaks for itself on the state of SE: https://i.imgur.com/S8slGeT.png )

Honestly as far it goes that looks pretty good to me.

You mean you do not still want to read jquery answers in 2024?

Chatrooms are freezed, not deleted, if there's enough content. The only reason why they are deleted is when there are less than 10 messages or 3 participants (don't quote me on that). Actual rules: > Rooms will exist indefinitely, so long as there is at least one person actively talking in the room. A room is considered worth retaining if it has more than 15 messages by at least 2 users.

That or being logged in. It was “not found” for me, too, until I logged in. (I don’t have any rep on the Ubuntu site, aside from the 100 for being on other SE sites).
