I havent searched too much into the past, but have the moderators considered a Newbie section??? I know that civic forums are flooded with a lot of repeat and newbie questions.

suggestion: newbie section. with stickies of common questions, not just a FAQ thread but a sticky of individual topics. so that newbies dont need to search through the FAQ thread.

its not wise to single out newbies. alot of newbies miught actually know more than we do, and are able to help however due to their "newcomer" status, be limited to information which poses no help to them. We have noticed a flood of newcomes recently (including girls as well). Doesn't that show that this forum is increasing in popularity?

Don't categorise the newcomers but rather educate them. And don't forget we were all once newbies as well.

damn |N| ive been here registered longer than you b**** :)

My point is that newbies DONT SEARCH!!!!
Most would just put up a new thread asking a common question. Im not saying to restrict them to that section but have a place where they know that if they have a basic question its easy to know where to go.

What I would like to see a section where the common questions are stickied to the top and easier for them to find. Instead of the FAQ thread, which i think they just ignore and the search button which is clearly too small!!!!
