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.
