I was wondering if the VTC backlog was only on Stack Overflow, or if it existed on other Stack Exchange sites. If it did exist on other sites, that might mean that the system for all Stack Exchange sites may need to be changed.

    There have been many discussions on this.. but as far as I know, the VTC queue is only backlogged on SO. Commented Dec 10, 2013 at 1:28
  • Shog9 has pretty much confirm that the bulk of the SO VTC queue is the long tail of old questions, which suggests it is exclusive to SO. Commented Dec 10, 2013 at 1:30
  • I would guess that as I don't see major posts about it, but wasn't sure.

    I just checked Super User, and it's at 300 something. I was more curious for the trilogy and major sites, as beta's don't usually get as much off-topic stuff.

  • There are a few other sites with non-zero Close Vote queues, but I wouldn't necessarily call them backlogged the same way SO is backlogged.

    On most sites the toilet needs at most a little baking soda and vinegar. On SO, the entire septic tank has made itself into a backyard pool.

    @random At least the kids aren't playing in it.

  • Clearly, there's a backlog on all those sites, just not as bad.

    Even the largest of the backlogs on Ubuntu and SU are trivial in comparison though.
