WikiFaq maintained by Lifers

[SagaLore]

I propose that anandtech.com adds a FAQ page, in wiki-style, that longtime members can change on their own. It could be linked to, over to the left right under advanced search. I remember when I first started here years ago, I had to ask a lot of questions about acronyms and such, and it is common for newcomers to ask again and again. So let's give them a FAQ. It could contain acronym meanings, links to free pic sites like bbzzdd, the ftp site, the irc channel, a description of the most famous members, etc. And it could be maintained by those who have reached Lifer status.

That won't be abused. :Q

Seems risky.

I like the idea, but there's no telling people won't start post-whoring so they can edit the WiKi (presuming the ability to access/edit it will be selected by postcount).

You have to be a fairly dedicated member to reach 10K posts.

Then again, I can see this happening.

Q: What is a douchebag?
A: An unattractive or offensive person; see also: spanky

Not likely. I didn't even know we had a forum called "Forums Issues".
Anything constructive to add?

I've been coming to FI since I joined.

As for the topic, I think it's a bad idea.
