If you think of CC primarily as a Q&A site, then why don't you turn it into an answers wiki? You have a perfectly good answers wiki platform that allows questions and answers to be categorised and searched and duplicates redirected, which are the main problems surrounding the current forum structure of your Q&A. Answers wikis are purpose-built for the task of answering users' questions, whereas the forums are not, or at least they're not well designed for the task.

You might be thinking something along the lines of "but the answers wiki platform has been depreciated and is therefore a load of crap", well guess what? There are still many people working on answers wikis such as our lovely Doctor Who Answers who manage to get along just fine with our bug-circumventing solutions, and would love to have the answers platform improved properly via a focus to fix it for better use here at CC. It's a win win win situation: people asking questions will have a better chance of finding previously answered questions on their topic, question answerers won't have to keep answering the same questions as they can just redirect duplicate questions to already answered variants, and people who still maintain answers wikis will benefit by having all the annoying answers wiki specific problems actually solved!

What do you think of that?!
