| Oct 20, 2011 at 22:55 | comment | added | Gregor Thomas | +1 for good answer, however I disagree with your generalization about Go players. I am a semi-serious Go player (not quite dan-level, but I play multiple times per week). Many of my [other-game-than-Go]-playing friends are interested in Go, but more importantly, at many gatherings of Go players, other games come up and are discussed, ranging from Settlers of Cataan to backgammon. I'm becoming a frequent contributor at B&CG, but I wish there were more Go questions there so I could contribute to those too! | |

| Feb 11, 2011 at 17:02 | comment | added | JYelton | @sjohnston your well-written answer causes me to reconsider my opinion that single games should have their own Q&A. That leaves only the question as to whether there is a large enough pool of users to keep the site alive, or if it would disappear in the fog of the internet? | |
| Jan 31, 2011 at 22:46 | comment | added | sjohnston | @Brent - I believe the more serious the player is about the game, the less likely they'll be interested in other board games. More of a continuum than a binary "you're pro or you're not". If Go.SE makes it to beta, it will certainly put it to the test. | |
| Jan 31, 2011 at 21:16 | comment | added | Brent Warner | I think it is unfortunate though that Board & Card Games is likely to fail on its own partly because a number of people that might participate in the larger site are instead holding out for an exclusive site. | |
| Jan 31, 2011 at 21:14 | comment | added | Brent Warner | I think that's a good argument, that PROFESSIONAL Chess and Go players may have little interest in other board games. However, I find it unlikely that there are a sufficient number of professionals in those area looking for an online Q&A site to support their own site. Game of Go is fairly close to beta, so maybe it will prove me wrong. | |
