    +1 because I believe there should be some limit. Puzzles and webcomics are not exactly Q&A. Asking for recommendations based on personal experience, however, are questions - just subjective ones. Commented Jan 15, 2011 at 8:50

    I guess you and @Oak are right, there must be a limit. So what about only recommendations? E.g. hardware.superuser.com and [email protected]. I mean the game recommendation proposal would basically be such a thing, it's just a question of domain naming... Commented Jan 16, 2011 at 9:07

    I agree about puzzles and webcomics being off-scope, but many of the polls are far from entertainment based questions and rather some of the most popular and useful questions on the whole site. Commented Apr 7, 2012 at 1:07
  • I agree that sometimes poll-based questions are some of the most useful on the site. I'd prefer not to see puzzles and webcomics anywhere. Commented Oct 13, 2014 at 1:21
  • I don't see how recommendations are inherently frivolous or purely of entertainment value. Commented Dec 29, 2015 at 23:28
  • I don't see how recommendations are out of the scope of this engine. There are already recommendation sites. There were a lot of recommendation polls in SO and they had a lot of upvotes. Users found them useful. Deleting them, instead of just migrating them or enabling such sites (when there were users who found them useful) is opposed to the spirit of a community-driven... community.

  • I, um, don't think recommendations are "pure entertainment based", but they certainly do need a different structure, and therefore engine. Commented Apr 27, 2019 at 20:59

    Interestingly enough, we now have SEs for puzzles and recommendations. Commented Oct 24, 2019 at 6:54
