For me the answer to the question "should this be on topic" is emphatically No.

I've only recently started using this site and I've become frustrated by quite a few of these pointless questions.


For me one of the major points of SE sites is; to be a repository of useful information (not just answering the askers question but providing a placeholder so someone else doesn't have to ask the same question again).

Number of issues:

  • Is this question useful to anyone else?
  • How would anyone find this question again.
  • Most of these photos (that one included as iStockphoto is pay site) is probably covered by copy write issues.
  • Will the site descend into a pub quiz of "spot the mountain", "name this person", etc. etc. type question.
