If "no challenge questions" is the official site philosophy, I can certainly accept that. I consider it somewhat unfortunate since the only reason I come here is for the challenge questions, but I'll ...

Let's take challenges somewhere else
Many on the site enjoy solving and posing puzzles as challenges, and for some, it's the only reason they're here. Accidentally, a puzzle-solving community has ...

Too difficult or pointless badges
Badges are, to the best of my knowledge, consistent in meaning across the entire StackExchange network. This means that smaller communities like ours have much more difficulty in reaching the upper ...

When (if ever) are we getting our own domain name?
No, the Trilogy (S[OFU]) and a few exceptions are the only sites to have custom domain names.
