If I search for what ever, not related to D, I very often end

AskUbuntu etc.
The main advantage is, that all answers can be classified
(up/down voted, moderated etc.)
This is much better than finding something in the D-Learn
Forum where it is difficult to see,
if several answers are given are they still valid, especially
if they are some years old.
I know that this was asked in the D survey and I think it
should be on the table again.
If we unite for this idea, it should be possible to start an
own "DExchange" sub platform.

You can already ask questions on SO. What you are proposing is
to close this forum, require registration to ask a question,
and let JavaScript developers close questions and treat new
users rudely. That doesn't seem like a good idea. The fact that
most questions get asked here rather than on SO now suggests
that there isn't much demand for SO.
I am not for moving just to StackOverflow, but to make an own
"DExchange" / "AskD" or what ever named learn platform with and
inside the StackExchange [1] technology. This should keep D users
together and would avoid mixing with other languages. But I am
not sure if this is really achievable for us.
