Voting Issues? You are kidding right? :-\ This place is worse than Florida has ever been. We don't hang chads we hang each other. :laugh:
Living in Florida, I know...it's definately worse, but at least here (CP) we admit that there are problems.

Hey, hey, hey. Don't be mean. We don't have to be mean because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai

Wow. StackOverflow[^] is really addicting. Once you start, you can't stop (trying to) answering questions. Seriously, it seems a cool and useful website.
If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe - but not a personality. - Charlie Brooker My Photos/CP Flickr Group - ScrewTurn Wiki

I've been using it during the beta. Works great. You can literally get answers within minutes, if not seconds. It's not all roses, though. The "fastest gun in the west" problem is something Jeff needs to address: people simply answer the fastest and shortest in hopes to be awarded the correct answer, more points, more badges. Many questions aren't truly answered and because some "fastest gun" answer, your question leaves the "unanswered questions" area, causing far fewer folks to look at it, causing you to end up with a question with no good answer.

I can see the website turning into garbage after a while. Soon, cliques will form which will mass-upvote/downvote other people, regardless of the answer. An elite group will soon control the website and the quality of material will be dictated by a few. It happens with most "user-generated content" sites... take Digg for example.

My foremost critique is that it's an overload. It's very hard to filter by tags when there are sixteen billion tags you may be interested in.

Outsource it to data entry sweatshops in India. I've read the going rate is ~1000 captchas solved/dollar.

Yea, it looks cool. I like the concept but google and CP are my home for these kind of things.

Yep, very impressive. I wonder how they managed to get so much traffic in just a couple of days.

And the 'Jeff' factor.
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game UNO.
In the movie "The Matrix", Chuck Norris is the Matrix. If you pay close attention in the green "falling code" scenes, you can make out the faint texture of his beard.
Chuck Norris actually owns IBM. It was an extremely hostile takeover.

I'm sorry, no actually I'm not sorry. I just plain don't like that site. It just doesn't flow well to me.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

One problem I have is the inconsistency between the 'Questions' view and the default homepage view, it's different, and logically it should not be. Took me a while to figure out why the site was looking and behaving so different ;P
xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support
IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)You needed to be following the Codinghorror blogs about the site and what their vision really is. It is not supposed to be like any site you are used to. It's supposed to be better. During the private beta period, I very much enjoyed the site... but now that it's open to the public, you're going to get a lot of the standard noodle-heads on there with the "plz snd teh codez" questions...
"Quality Software since 1983!"
