Ok hows this sound when you sign up to GBN as u know u get an email when u join with your user name and password, well what about in the email theres links to the “New to the Message Board? - Newbie FAQ” and “Ready to post? - Frequently recurring topics.”

I agree. But they might not look at it right away. They might think to themselves “I'll take a look at that later. I wonder if anyone knows the name of that song they play when they go across the bridge?”. And they'll forget about them, and they'll post that same question. And then someone else will give them a link, but they'll probably ignore that.

I wonder if they'll ever pay attention to the threads you mentioned. It saves a whole lot of trouble for them to do that. Zack has brought this up many times, and I agree with him and you on it.
