Yeah, it's about that time.  As Light Dragon pointed out in the "This site and its members" thread, the FAQ is sorely lacking in anything remotely useful or relevant to our site.  I would like you guys' (and gals'!) advice on coming up with a good, useful FAQ that I can put up here (and also CBG2.0) in the upcoming weeks/months/decades.

Thanks!

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

For the record, the FAQ page seems to be the only place on the site to directly link to the upload page. So don't lose that!

Yes, the code tutorial is fantasmic!  And good points on the IRC and Wiki, I'll work on that today.

review swapping officially explained would be a nice way to tell people to get started, as well as making it very clear that only those who review get reviewed.

explaining the posting catagories (meta, homebrewm etc) might be a good FAQ topic.

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg
