    Because folks on Programmers.SE won't like those questions and they'll get closed anyways. See: Please stop using Programmers.SE as your toilet bowl

    @robjb - nope. It's too open ended. Where's the problem to be solved?

    Why do you think migrating campfire questions is more appropriate than closing them? Hurt feelings?

    (+1 as I think this very question is legit and I don't understand its downvotes; not because I feel migration would be better than closing.)

  • @robjb - it's a very open ended question. Is it a real problem or an academic exercise?

  • @Arjan Nothing wrong with upvoting; but on Meta, down votes are different than the main site; they often indicate disagreement with what is being stated. That's the reason for mine, for example. From FAQ

  • I know, @Andrew, but the question did not take any position to vote against, I'd say... (To me, it's a question, not a statement.)

  • @Arjan The question headline did not take a position, true, but the question body did: "I don't believe their quality alone warranted the close; perhaps migration to Programmers would have been more appropriate."

  • Every second question of mine gets closed because of off-topic. Then I have to copy the text and post the exact same question on another site. Now two identically topics exist. Please SE, migrate questions instead of closing them.
