Please no.

Although I like the suggestion of helping users to find the right site, a site just to redirect question is a little bit too much I think.

Why?

  1. Users must be able to find the right site themselves. Often looking for a programming related issue they will come to SO anyway, about their cat to Pets.SE. Or use the StackExchange sites overviewStackExchange sites overview;
  2. The community effort to redirect all those questions is too much, with no clear gain for those people working their butt off.

Please no.

  1. Users must be able to find the right site themselves. Often looking for a programming related issue they will come to SO anyway, about their cat to Pets.SE. Or use the StackExchange sites overview;
  2. Some questions have multiple sites to ask the question. Let the OP decide which one to choose (there is no single good answer);
  3. The community effort to redirect all those questions is too much, with no clear gain for those people working their butt off.
