What are the etiquette involved when cross-posting programming questions on StackOverflow and GameDev.StackExchange? Or is it a case of "don't do it?"

I think that this would be a good case for don't do it.

I'm going for one or the other.

  • Wasting peoples' time on both ends.
  • Likely indicates it doesn't belong here (programming with a slight gamedev issue).

And not just SO - I've seen many questions on here and on Gamedev.net, with post times ~5 minutes of each other.

+1 for "not just SO". – eBusiness Jul 20 '11 at 12:41

Another vote for SO xor GDSE. As another argument against both, we've had at least one case of a question getting migrated from SO to here after being asked both places, leaving us with a duplicate.

However, migrated questions can be merged, especially if answers are good on both ends, or deleted entirely. – Ricket♦ Mar 8 '11 at 23:20
