| May 9, 2021 at 17:38 | comment | added | Rob | Searching answers:0 score:100 gives 32 results on Stack Overflow; with the newest a year old, and the remainder much older after that. --- They're not deleted and have a lot of votes, perfect for answering and triggering Follow / Bookmarkers; so they're candidates for answering, if that's a metric to find old questions worthy of an answer. --- I've answered quite a few that were several months old, both with no answer or not an upvoted one; usually you'll get an answer within the hour or day, less often 3. | |

| May 9, 2021 at 12:34 | comment | added | Y.A. | It depends on a lot of things. The specific site, the day of the week, the time of day, the catchiness of the title, how well written and engaging the question is, the complexity required of an answer (ie. the time required to research and compose it), and probably a number of other factors that don't come to mind. In review, I see new answers to seven year-old questions. Are you asking for a sede search and an analysis? Which site? | |
