Yep, they can. Or they can ask on Pinside, or rec.games.pinball, or on pinballinfo.com, or on jammaplus, or on...etc etc.
All of these are discussion forums though. Q&A sites differ by allowing contributors to upvote (or downvote) what they feel are the better answers to questions. Better answers rise to the top. Q&A sites also enable category tagging of questions, which means if you (an expert on homepin products) want to quickly see if any new questions in that category have been asked, you can see them with one click.
Q&A sites are entirely different to discussion forums. I'd like to suggest we create a Q&A site for pinball.
Just to clarify - I have no motive behind this. This is not *my* site, or anyone else's site for that matter. I'm just passionate to see a Q&A site as I think it would be a huge asset to the community.
