I think it's time we all pitched in ideas about how to arrange this forum in a more noob friendly manner. For one to make it easier for noobs too get involved and feel welcomed here at the 405th and two to make veteran and elite members not feel so annoyed about the constant pestering by different noobs asking the same questions over and over again. (I could only imagine how frustrated I would get) Many a time (myself being a noob still) have I asked a question only to make a fool of myself when someone else hits me with a link to a thread I couldn't find that answers my question beautifully, or at least mostly. I guess I'll start.
My idea would be to make sections in the forum for "Halo/Ironman/Starcraft" Whatever should happen to come up. Since this site is mainly halo related maybe just Halo and then another for Everything else? Then under those main section have subsections listed with different armor types like MKIV/MKV/MKVI/ODST with a stickie moderated by someone dedicated to that particular armor set that adds commonly asked questions as they come up, like a link to the thread or a quote with credit who knows. This would have to be built upon over time but I think this would take a little pressure off elite members having to help noobs so much and the questions they would get asked wouldn't be on the sticky. So they could PM the mod of that armor set and have them add that or request help finding the answers from that armor sets community. Of course that's only for the noobs that actually pay attention and read stickies (but we all make mistakes sometimes) Again that's just my suggestion but I really do believe it would make it easier on everyone. Anyone else have suggestions?
