"Starting Off" Forum?

weekend-fun said:

Hi guys,

It seems that when someone joins they start threads with questions that have been asked & answered plenty of times. What If we made a mini-forum kinda like Classic Instructions, but have more threads like "Coaster Brakes" "What Bike Will Work?" "Breaking In?" ect ect. I think this would keep the forum less "crowded" and get member their answers quicker. We could get some of the more "expert" members to help put it together.

Good idea Sam.
The only problem is that newbies will not read it. The information is there; has been posted hundreds of times but the new guy comes on and the first thing he does is ask a question that, like you said, has been asked and answered time and time again. The search feature goes completely ignored by most. Instead of doing just a little reseach it is apparently easier to just ask the question. We've been fighting this situation for a long, long time and have never found a way to combat lazy human nature.
