I think it would make life alot simplier for you DrD, if you make a site running over the basics of a topic such as DVD ripping, Before the clog up the message boards with posts, but they have. If you do this, i would start the site on all the old posts whihc have been answered already. just a suggestion

Thanks for the idea. We've planned to make somekinda troubleshoot/FAQ guide in our article section and modify the registration process so that each user _has_ to read the troubleshoot page before the account is activated, which would reduce the amount of useless messages quite a lot.

But as our time is, specially right now, more than limited, we just try to encourage users to use the "magic Search messages feature" :-)

i look forward to this, so that in the future only complicated questions are asked...
