I still think their Answers service is not being actively policed. Some of the “questions” are just painfully bad or just plain incoherent.

I've also noticed an increase in new users attempting to subvert the paid job listings by advertising listings within Answers. Notably, those are dealt with much faster than the bogus questions.

Have any of you guys at VB covered any successes with the group discussion functionality delivered a few weeks ago?
