to be honest, this forum is much lighter on the noobs than a lot of others. it would potentially help that instead of the 'introductions' forum we have a 'newbie' forum. this way, they know where to ask the questions that have potentially been done a thousand times. it would also be a good place to throw a bunch of the sticky threads to clean up the other sub forums.
I would have to disagree with this. Out of all of the forums I am a part of, this one is by far the HARDEST on new people. Granted I have not run into this issue cause I know how to work a computer. Sometimes it is warranted though, with some idiot claiming something that is BS.
