2015/02/18 | 3,273 | 11,784 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently ran a simple Google search for instances of the word 'depression' on this site, and was shocked to see how frequent they were.
Does anyone else finds it surprising? Is it just an artifact, or does our site somehow *attract* depressed peoples? Despite what some say, I'm unconvinced t... |

2015/04/10 | 1,036 | 4,274 | <issue_start>username_0: Recently, it seems that a number of questions are being flagged for migration because they are a better fit someplace else. My personal view on migration is it should only be used for questions that are off topic here. In other words, if a question is on topic here, it should stay even if it mi... |
