Migration of MSO links to MSE links
Mar 3, 2014 at 10:18 comment added david.pfx @Alan: not trying to give offence, but bounties appear to attract people trying to build reputation rather than those comfortable in their own skins. I'll have to give it a try and see what happens.
Mar 3, 2014 at 0:23 comment added Alan but they mostly interest reputation hounds, not the people I want I don't think that's a fair statement.
Mar 2, 2014 at 3:18 comment added Benjamin Gruenbaum Part of the problem is that people who are highly skilled don't want to spend their time answering your very specific but not very highly applicable question (they already do plenty of that and get paid well usually). Instead, they answer questions with much higher applicability or public interest - these questions are usually easier too.
Mar 2, 2014 at 3:16 comment added Benjamin Gruenbaum Yes, I know. I did not answer your question directly - I discussed the subject it was talking about. What I did, was suggest a couple of ways to increase the visibility of your SO question by pushing it outside of SO (which is just as important). In order to get more attention in SO itself your're pretty limited to bounties and the chat (both of which I suggested).
Mar 2, 2014 at 3:13 comment added david.pfx Thank you for the time and effort, but this really doesn't answer the question. First you told me I asked it wrong. Then you told me what I already knew and want to achieve, that the entry barrier should be high. Then you told me about bounties, but they mostly interest reputation hounds, not the people I want. And finally you told me places I could look other than SO, all of which I already know about and all of which I've done at various times. [And yes, I too have had a question answered by Anders.] The problem is: I want to know how SO could help me better, not where else I could go!
