This totally isn't a "My computer won't turn on, fix it for me" site. This is a site dedicated to professionals that oftentimes have really complex issues. | |

However, I think this is less of a problem than it seems currently. Other professional oriented communities have a large number of off topic closures, but they also have larger communities and produce more on topic posts. I also believe this will always be worse for us to some degree simply because we will have the word network in our site name and people will try to ask their network questions here. | |

| Feb 19, 2014 at 15:51 | comment | added | Ron Trunk | It just seems to me that if approximately one third to half of the questions asked here are off-topic, then there must be a larger issue. When people see "network engineering" they ask network related questions. Perhaps you should change the name of the site to "Professional Network Engineering" or something like that. | |
