In order to generate more site traffic, are more basic questions okay?
It seems like the questions lately are either mythbuster, or esoteric questions that might not have a definitive answer. Would generic questions about styles or history be beneficial to the site or is that not the goal?
Is it too general to have questions like: What is a (style X) beer? Tagged: history, Style
Definitely okay! These types of questions are in fact encouraged. We have a few such questions out there already:
So far they appear to be tagged style and classification. I like your history suggestion as well.
I think Beer.SE is still in a flexible, forgiving phase where we're still trying to figure out what exactly is too subjective or too definitive, so don't be shy to ask any question, especially if it's a real question you or someone you know actually has about a beer. That said, thanks for asking—it helps for people to know, especially since Beer.SE still lacks a clear "What can I ask here?" FAQ.
