Yay! One thing that keeps me away from a lot of the existing places is
the lack of OpenID authentication. With a StackExchange site, I can
re-use my existing identity that I control.

Now if only BoardGameGeek would also accept OpenIDs, I'd be in bliss.

Done.

A word of advice to people participating in that define-the-parameters
exercise: comment and vote on existing questions a lot, because you only
get to make five question exampless of your own. (Mine were mostly
examples of questions I *don't* want to see on such a site, so I'm
happy.)
