If you go here:
http://stackoverflow.com

...you'll notice that there's a clear heading saying "top questions", and it's 
very clear that there are questions and answers under that. Particularly the 
"Ask Question" button on its own. The structure, design and layout of the site 
informs the purpose very clearly.

Contrast this with the freeform wiki nature of LTU which doesn't really have a 
layout...
