| 2 days ago | comment | added | peterh | meta.meta would be too logical, I think we can close it out. I see a huge chance that the SE will remain, probably not for a while but for a really long time, maybe forever. Reason is simple: the last 10 years consequently has shown that the company neglects the SE where it only can do that. The idea that, for example, the SE sites would get the new design (currently beta.stackoverflow.com), well that would not be they. Their latest achievement on the stupidity contest, that they have killed the job SO, even the indeed crap, out of the USA. | |

| Jan 1 at 11:48 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | Or that this is very much a question for the company, and this kinda muddles things. Especially where there's additional confusion, perhaps this answer's seen as not very helpful. | |
| Jan 1 at 11:39 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | @JourneymanGeek I added the quotes where they seem, in my eyes, to quite clearly state that Stack Exchange as a brand name is dead. Overall I find less confusion and uncertainty about the brand renaming than you suggest in the question. It seems to be relatively clear. I hope that helps you to organize resistance. And I suggest that voting here is akin to shooting the messenger. I didn't do any of the rebranding or reported anything in bad faith. It seems people just are in the mood of downvoting something because they are unhappy with the planned change. I can understand that. | |

added part about stack exchange brand being dead
|
| Jan 1 at 9:31 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | @JourneymanGeek So you and other folks think that Stack Exchange isn't dead? I think this was the only true outcome so far. I will try and find the exact citation for that. | |
| Jan 1 at 9:24 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | Ah but I am. And other folks are. And I very much would like the company to try to communicate effectively internally and externally about these things. If they were explicit about stack exchange being dead, I'd have an easier time organising resistance to the change. If they listened and communicated that they had better alternatives, we'd be better off spending energy on other things. | |
| Jan 1 at 9:22 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | @JourneymanGeek They could be more explicit but they say some things which are clear: "Stack Exchange" is dead, only "Stack Overflow" for everything, smaller sites are kept, it's the "Public Platform". That's what they say and I'm not so much concerned with misunderstanding them. Stack Overflow is just an identifier. It doesn't have to mean anything. I only think the choices are a bit generic and awkward. | |
| Jan 1 at 9:16 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | They've not really said anything. That's a bit of an issue | |
