I was just writing an answer to a programming question. It happened to be related to game development, but it was a fairly generic Java-question.

Once I've spent 5 minutes or so carefully typing in an answer and clicked "save", I was surprised to see that it had been migrated to [gamedev.stackexchange.com](https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/8345/java-game-design-question-graphical-objects).

1. Will my reputation earned on that question before transfer (+10 I think) be "deducted" on next SO rep-recalc?!

(What if users starts to transfer old questions, say, the 3000+ questions tagged with [game] on SO to some game-dev site? Will my status drop on recalcs!?)
2. Why on earth are all these overlapping stackexchange sites keep popping up? Is "programming" too "wide" field to handle on one site?

It seems to me that these hundreds(?) of stackexchange sites cause like "inflation" on the original stack-overflow idea. It seems like xyz.stackexchange.com is taking over the role of TAGS. Surly I can't be the only one of this opinion...
