Presence on Stack Exchange?

[Josiah14]

Should we (Orthodox in general) consider having a larger presence on the Christianity Stack Exchange community? It seems like it would be THE place to provide answers to concrete theological and praxical questions regarding Eastern Orthodoxy in a way that also gives us a presence and makes us more visible to technical people.

I had never heard of it before, but given that Orthodoxy is all but invisible to many people, anything that helps provide accurate information should be good, IMO.

Every time I hear anything related to the stack exchange now, I think of Bane in the Dark Knight Rises when he and his goons storm into the Gotham Stock Exchange and are firing off automatic weapons. One of the guys in suits who is a trader on the floor says, " There's no money here!" Bane replies, "Really? Then what are you people here?"

Well i registered and added my two cents on a couple of posts.

I registered and answered a question. Frankly, it doesn't seem all that compatible with how most Orthodox I know conduct their spiritual formation.

If there are any academic, scholarly types, I think the site could benefit from them. But I get the impression from the link I was sent to that this is a place designed really for unbelievers to put Christians under the microscope, so I'm not sure how much weight any argument might have with them.

I will probably quietly disappear. If I had MUCH more time, I could probably learn to contribute well there. But I don't. Right now I don't possess the "technical" knowledge base of an exhaustive knowledge of sources, nor do I have time to track it down.
