Vanima, that's similar, in a way, to what I was thinking about for the books forum: a thread where a newbie could ask, "I'm curious about Gandalf's grandmother, is there a topic on that and how do I find it?" I'd be willing to help them, if they asks; if they asks nicely, preciousss.

Right now, the method is, they open a new thread, ask their question, get told to use the search engine, and the thread gets closed, and then probably deleted. That adds work for Esty and Legolas, but I'm not sure how effective it is in creating a learning curve, or building ambition in the newbies to develop their skills and deepen their learning.

Maybe it's fine. To me it seems intimidating. If that was the reception I had gotten, I'd have lasted about three days max.
