Stack Exchange have an established reputation and there are lots of active people on there giving really user friendly help. I often get beaten to give a good answer by other people. I am a little concerned that you wont get the momentum needed to get this site really active with this kind of competition and also as you mentioned the previous owner of the site was unable to do very well with it. If you have less momentum than askubuntu.com, then I would feel I was letting people down if I point them in the direction of your site over askubuntu.comas they would not necessarily get the best help. My appologies that I am unable to be more positive about you efforts. Perhaps you could go into the differentiators that would draw people to your site, both as people looking for answers and people willing to answer those problems in a easy to understand way. If you can find a way to make the site give lots of added value to people looking for answers (and people willing to give answers) then I will gladly do all I can to support your efforts.
