the site jumped the shark when they removed the question "new programming jargon you coined" which was easily the best one they ever had

For the curious, the top 30 responses were reblogged by Jeff Atwood: https://blog.codinghorror.com/new-programming-jargon/
Archive.org link to the original question here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120210110752/https://stackover...
I refuse to look at this.
Basically the guy stole the work of many people for himself.
The Creative Commons license disagrees with your characterization. Plus Jeff founded Stack Overflow, so it's odd to single him out if republishing works legally is stealing.
Exactly. Atwood's post says "Unfortunately, we don't have a good designated place for deleted "too fun" questions to live, but all Stack Exchange content is licensed under Creative Commons in perpetuity. Which means, with proper attribution, we can give it a permanent home on our own blogs.
And he does link each term to the StackOverflow user who posted it.
> all Stack Exchange content is licensed under Creative Commons in perpetuity. Which means, with proper attribution, we can give it a permanent home on our own blogs.
But can we, in practice? Where can I find all the answers to that question, including the comments?
By "stealing" I refer to the removal of the original content from the main site, not to the copy itself.
