in reply to Newbie Question Area

You're assuming newbies would actually look there before posting their question. My experiences on Usenet would tend to contraindicate that assumption :-)

Besides, we already have Categorized Q&A, which should serve that purpose.

*Woof*

    You could make it so anonymous monks and level 1 users have a random set of newbie area questions appear first on the monastery gates.

      Hey, I like that idea. The link back to the Newbie Question Area, or the Categorized Q&A, would make them more likely to look there before posting.

    Well yeah, I know that that doesn't often happen, but I was thinking that right on the main link bar it would list Frequent Newbie Questions. Perhaps it could even be bolded for AM and Level 1, and then we have the option of turning it off if we don't want to look at it.
