Let me re-phrase: we need people to read it then! Couldn't you make it a forum post and sticky it or somethin'?

Why bother, they won't read it if it's the first page of the site. Many don't want to read or research, they want answers handed to them on a pretty silver platter.

It sounds like a good idea to me, I see a sticky FAQ in most forums I visit.

But this is coming from one of the kings of requesting features that don't get used (me)...

I suppose you're right: most people see a forum and go directly to "post new thread" before reading anywhere (mostly because everybody wants to think that they're the first person ever to have this problem, and that there's a legion of pro engineers just waiting to answer haha)

On a related note, what's the best mic? :P

Didn't say what is the best mic for what application!

SM57. Ha.

I think having an FAQ section is pretty cool, but every thinks that their situation is special. Plus, it's great to have a member help you work through things. Makes me feel all fuzzy and warm...

I love you guys....

The SM-57 is obviously the best mic under $100 that makes TallChap all emotional.

I would say even if only 5% check the FAQ then it's worth it. At least it wouldn't hurt to sticky it.

...you have to be careful... it might be a good idea to write a bot to occasionally post obvious questions covered in the FAQ to the forum otherwise forum usage can decrease significantly...

Oh hell, why make it so less folks will post. This is a forum not a quick reference guide. Half the fun is meeting folks just starting out.
