I've been on the forum long enough that I've figured most of this out, but when I started up just a few weeks ago, I had no idea what meant what in the forums. Some of the questions can be links to other threads, but some of them I think could only be found through searching the forums, and that doesn't always return the results you want. Some questions I think that need to be put in a "Look here first" thread somewhere on the forum:
How to attain VIP or regular status? What does lurker mean? Who are the staff? How do you get your identity verified? What (dis)advantages do regulars/VIP/newbies/lurkers have? Why do we frown upon lame screen names? Where can I find more info on the IRC?
I know when I first started here, there was no one central post that answered all my questions, and I think it'd be very useful. [Yes, I checked through all the current "newbie" threads, none of them were extremely helpful.]
