How do you "undercut" free support with other free support exactly?

There's numerous reasons why people use Askubuntu rather than other
avenues like irc, mailing lists and forums. Why each individual does
so, I can only speculate, but I can certainly hazard a guess.
Askubuntu is easy to search, filter, respond to, maintain, rate, tag,
discuss... and it shows up really well on search engines.
