GOOD LORD NEWBIES LEARN TO READ

[Subura]

I"m tired of Instant messages, and private messages and emails asking for roms or advice from newbies. THERES AN FAQ RIGHT HERE!! JUST READ IT!!!

EXCLIMATION POINT!

Well I just got one from a guy saying that the newbie faq is useless, I'd have to agree to be honest

 

[Gallstaff]

yeah i know that if i was a newbie that wouldn't help me at all. but still... there are a lot of obvious questions that new members to the board ask that really are already answered in the MISC section which i still think should be changed to the "help" section.

One thing REDO FAQ

 

[Gear]

Put links of the documentation from the miscellaneous section to newbie 101.

...

jajaja, you get bothered by newbies? I'm lucky with this

Look, Myst said something about being lazy/not having enough time to do it, so commission some people to put it together.

I know I brought it up at least twice, maybe more. I'd love to do something like that.

And it doesn't have to be one person, it could be a bunch of people. Have a poll or something as what should be changed, somebody write up the FAQs, another proof them, another transfer them to HTML, etc. etc.

Again, I nominate me.

What annoys me is that the board has an archive of over 30000 messages, but no-one bothers to scan even the first page of each section. There's even a search button right at the top of the page! Newbies don't annoy me, lazy bums do.

No what I said was is I started it and I asked for people to help me fill in what they feel should be added and I can add it. Now your saying some misc should be in there, ok Ill take a look.
