I am really surprised that the Stack Exchange site still has yet to find enough people, are the programmers here on the forums spreading that link to the appropriate places? /r/Bitcoin/ just had someone today message me that he was trying to join the forums to check on two projects (one has to do with Fantasy Football, just makes sense), I have yet to see the mention of the Stack Exchange other than your signature and you posting about it. That format seems really good, people who are already committed should promo it a bit more.

At the rate it's been going, it should open by the end of August. It would be nice to have it happen before that. We're currently ahead on new users (119/200), what we need are more people who have an established reputation on other Stack Exchange sites (48/100).

Also, everyone should pray that the official Bitcoin.org forums never go away. Dear lord if there wasn't an "Official" place that both kooks (political and otherwise) and programmers can meet to discuss the random daily Bitcoin bullshit, I fear for places like Stack Exchange. Or basically whoever would be next under the .org for a search on the word "Bitcoin"

Doubt it. The SE site is strictly for technical and conceptual stuff, not for political/philosophical stuff. Nothing interesting for the kooks, and with no kooks there's no lulz for the trolls. Not to mention that there's a moderation system in place that actually works, unlike with this place.
