I almost always prefer SO answers because there was chance someone had the same issue I was seeing. Documentation only shows how things should work and dedicated forums are very hit or miss.

SO used to be really good in the past, but these days when I'm looking for an answer to a problem, I only unanswered closed questions.

That's the stupid SO concept that questions can only be asked once. It makes sure that only the question from 2012 with all its outdated answers is available while everyone who asks for an update will get their question closed.

That's why SO was great in 2012 but its rules made sure it got outdated fast.
