Your Favorite Tech Support Web Sites and Why?
Where do you go to participate in technical discussions besides UNIX.COM and why?
Personally, I do not really participate in other forums and discussion boards, but I do ask questions from time to time on Stack sites. The problem I have with Stack is that my questions are never answered on any topic; so perhaps they are not the standard, beginner questions that we often see. Or, perhaps I not good at asking questions, haha.
This means for me, I normally get my tech answers from a Google search or watching a tutorial video; because I have very bad luck asking questions and getting answers in forums and other discussion sites.
I also find Stack sites to be really restrictive, because these sites do not really promote back and forth discussions, but they are rather "post a question and vote up the best answer" sites. So, when I try to post on any of these kind of sites, I cannot get any sense of community; but that's me I guess; maybe others have better experiences?
I do like the fact that the Stack sites are not forum based but taxonomy (tag) based, so there is no need to post in a particular forum or designed area on the site; but just tag the post with one or more keywords and go.
Also, on the Stack sites, I have difficulty with code tags and other BB code tags; and sometimes I really struggle to get code posted. This means for me, I often get good information from Stack but only from a Google search referral, but rarely, to almost never, get my written questions answered.
How about about you?

DESCRIPTION
Swish-e is Simple Web Indexing System for Humans - Enhanced. Swish-e can quickly and easily index directories of files or remote web sites
and search the generated indexes.
Swish-e is extremely fast in both indexing and searching, highly configurable, and can be seamlessly integrated with existing web sites to
maintain a consistent design. Swish-e can index web pages, but can just as easily index text files, mailing list archives, or data stored
in a relational database.
Swish is designed to index small to medium sized collection of documents, Although a few users are indexing over a million documents, typi-
cal usage is more often in the tens of thousands. Currently, Swish-e only indexes eight bit character encodings.
