By posting here, the OP is more likely to get an answer from other users who are using app X on FreeBSD. Asking in the App X forum is likely to get an unhelpful answer from *their* local curmudgeons: "No one here uses FreeBSD, and it's not a priority for the App X developers. Go away." My point being, getting App X working on FreeBSD is often a higher priority for us than it is for them, and someone here might have already gone to the trouble of figuring it out. I see nothing wrong in asking whether that's the case.
