I've been looking at the various fora and notice a trend in the same questions popping up, some that I recall now include;
- How to meet new people
- How to get started
- How daunting chat is
Further to his the same answers, albeit written in the individual style of each responder, is provided.
The problem this presents is that newbies have a mass of information but no single repository to go to and start, therefore some, I expect, may feel disillusioned.
Why is a central place not created that collates all answers to frequently asked questions? The answers are there from various members, so Admin or Mods (sorry Mods if this isn't your role) can just compile a list from best answers received.
I'm sure it will improve usage of the fora.
What do you guys think?
Hello Guys Im Mal,as a Guy who is reasonably new back on the site I can totally see where your comeing from ! I have myself made a few suggestions and asked questions but never got very far ! ( read my threads on the forums) .
The thread you talk of could be very good but you say that admin and mods should choose whot goes on the notice board ,with the greatest respect to admin and the mods we all have our own fixed opinions on what is best and isnt so do you not think an open forum is best for feedback then you have the opinion of a 100,000+ people as against maybe a dozen.
Love what you are saying and am with you on your thinking !!

Good idea Surrey, and no not the job of mods, thank goodness.
Cop why do I love you so much XXX .
Bet you know ha ha ha xxx
open forum is good, yes I agree. Maybe I chose the worng the wrong in saying selecting the best replies. What should have been said maybe is the select the same answers to the same questions.
E.g. what's the best way to know people?
use the chat & persevere.
I just believe there has to be an easier way, after all, too much information is no information, you miss what you're looking for and spend ages looking for little things that should really be simple.
Maybe I have a little naivity in me, but I just wish everybody a simpler & more enjoyable life. It's already complicated, we don't need to add to it.
Enjoy xXXx
I think it's a very good idea!

I also think when people join the site they should be told about the forum? As when we joined we never looked in it, it wasn't until morkandmindy popd our forum cherry lol that we started to read it and join in. I think it's a nice way to get introduced to some of the people on the site?xxx
