I agree completely that Google's excessive reliance on SO/SE sites is hurting other communities. As of late I'm seeing more and more search results pull up SO questions that have been "closed" and unanswered on SO. These results don't deserve to be listed in google AT ALL, much less rank above other communities offering real answers. It's just sad that Google is bumping up SE/SO results because they are hosted on SE/SO rather than offering up the best results.
