The actual reason why I created these sites is because they are frequently asked and I am tired of typing out the same stuff over and over again. So now, I can just link to them, saving me a lot of time, and besides, since it is a static webpage, I can be more informative.

Or I wonder if Memnoch could post a sticky FAQ here. Stuff pertaining to cheating of course, gaxx, dragons, a few weapon choices, ac, saves, str and how it helps thaco and dmg, dex and how it helps, races - good /bad attributes/penalties, and just about anything else a newbie would want to know.
If Memnoch could post a FAQ, maybe your links could be added to it to make it simpler. Of course, I bet a few ppl will overlook the obvious help, but just another thought.

Such an idea has been proposed before, but as Ziroc once said, it would defeat the purpose of the forum, which is to interact with people. Besides... it will start to get out of hand, as more and more people try to add stuff to the FAQ.

I do not mind answering questions, but when you find yourself answering the Kangaxx issue for the countless time, you do feel like creating a shortcut.

To cut a long story short, the webpage is actually for my own benefit.
