I don't like giving out the feeling that these questions are off-topic, they're just things we can't answer in our format. If they had reworded it to "What are the different kinds of VirtualBox networking" it'd probably have been fine. Heck he'd probably have even gotten usage advice. | |

Maybe the thresholds were/are based on Stack Overflow's level of traffic, so it's simply unlikely that a post on any other site would reach them. | |
| Feb 7, 2019 at 9:33 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Zanna I don't know how they've implemented that. In any case, the main point stands: if you feel something should be reopened, post on meta about it. | |
| Feb 7, 2019 at 9:31 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | Hmm I'm seen that post but I've always wondered about the last point that seems to say that being popular will automatically send a post to the reopen queue - it does not say that any kind of edit will send them there (reading the logic of the list). I don't think I have ever seen a post magically appear in the queue because it is popular! | |
