| Jan 14, 2014 at 21:30 | comment | added | Seth | @Braiam The OP will get the answer he's looking for, he just won't get it spoon fed into him. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 21:29 | comment | added | Braiam | @Seth I'm not upset. I'm just pointing out the fact that right now the question will not get the answers OP is looking for, nor this was the right place to ask for such information. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 21:28 | comment | added | Braiam | @Aditya but you have butchered the question... at least you changed the meaning into something that OP didn't ask. Moderators had told me that I could edit a question without changing the meaning. With what you have done OP won't get the answers he wants. If you would have done such troughful editing (adding more than 300 characters) you should have asked a new question and pointing interested parties there. One thing is improving the question another is changing it into something OP didn't ask. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 18:28 | comment | added | Aditya | @Braiam: Please don't close based on the original text of the question... The original text was crap I won't and don't support either which is the reason I edited it to make it more answerable.. Moreover, the edited question doesn't ask you the statistics, but the source of where that statistics is available (if at all).. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 18:00 | comment | added | Seth | @Braiam Aditya just edited it into an answerable question. I don't see what you're all upset about. It isn't the first time someone has edited a question to make it more on-topic | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 17:57 | comment | added | Braiam | @Seth read the original question. Please. "How many person downloaded Ubuntu 13.10?" pure numbering. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 17:33 | comment | added | Seth | @Braiam You are totally missing the point.. He's not asking for numbers, he is asking if someone (maybe canonical) keeps track of the number of downloads each distribution of Ubuntu gets. Also, AFAIK, we are the only SE site that deals with "Community" style questions, mostly because we have backing from Canonical and we're (sorta) part of an actual community behind Ubuntu. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 17:27 | comment | added | Braiam | Now, lets say you are right, reduct it ad absurdum and ask all kinds of raw numbers about Ubuntu. Opening this question that's the message we are transmitting. I would be glad to help him with his investigation but not on a Q&A site like Stack Exchange. It just doesn't fit the model. If I go to any SE site asking the same while being on topic I will surely get my question closed and maybe downvoted. We are just not the right site to ask. But you reopened it... | |
