Title says all, and i have lots of questions. Id rather have a forum for it then thread jack and risk the potential risk of being bbq'd

No, we need a good FAQ thread that links to valuable threads elsewhere on the forum.

Wanna help out? iirc WoW was making some sort of FAQ. If it's finish, we just need to sticky it so everyone can go there before making new thread

Really, what forums need is some special kind of thread, whose first post is editable by anyone (or by a controlled group), Wikipedia style.

That way new information can be added even if the person that created the thread is offline, away, banned (lol), etc.

What can I do?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I wasn't intending to imply that an FAQ should or even could have been made already. If anything it's still a little early as we haven't had a chance to dig into the car and break things. That said, if you guys are already work on one I'd be happy to lend a hand.

Mods (Me & WoW) or even our boss Hachi can do that. As long as post it in the thread.

Welcome to mod's world lol

im trying to condense the FAQ down right now. So its easier to navigate and get answers more quickly than linking to big threads. Its quite a task and has keep me from being an active poster for some time.

See the thing is, I do understand what kind of control admins and moderators have over a forum. But what I am suggesting is to cut out the middleman. Otherwise I'd have to give you the info to put into the thread instead of just doing it myself.

Or make a new thread, which seems to be one of the seven deadly sins around here.
