It would be too tough for ask-Ubuntu to be "all inclusive" and cater to the users of Elementary OS for several different reasons.

  1. Elementary uses a GTK version that is not available in its Ubuntu counterpart of 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
  2. Elementary uses applications that have been built 'in house' and not so common on the straight Ubuntu camp.
  3. Elementary has it's own patches and code. I could probably think of other reasons as well.

I may have been a little redundant in my post but the point is that just because it's based on Ubuntu doesn't really mean very much as so much of the system has been altered. I wouldn't take an Elementary question to an Ubuntu site anymore than I would take an Ubuntu question to a Debian site.

Side note, I see my post has been edited, I'll remember to use better formatting in the future.
