Hi there, questions can be closed by forum moderators for different reasons. If you're referring to https://ask.openstack.org/question/2754/feature-comparison-with-the-cloud-solution-by-hp-ibm-and-dell/, I closed the question because I believe it's a base for a subjective discussion, not a question in the sense that Ask is built for.

A better place to have that discussion is on the General mailing list.
