    Forum section suggestion

    Guides should have their own section. Each guide should have a locked rating depending on the quality. The # of guides shouldn't exceed one or two pages.

    If there are two similar guides, have them merged somehow or have the OPs come to an agreement on which one is better.

    :/

    This is both good and bad. On the one hand you have all these guides in one place and can see what you need, on the other hand all the guides are in one place (don't worry I'll explain).

    Before, if someone asks "Where do I get Stepmania" we would direct him to the stickied thread in the Stepmania et al section. Simple, he goes there and within two seconds has found the thread.

    With your suggestion it could end up something like this:

    "Where do I find Stepmania?"
    "In the guides section"
    "Oh ok...(time passes)...I can't find it?"
    "Look in the guides section!"
    "Where?"
    "Uh...page 4"
    "Oh"

    Essentially, by grouping all the guides together it makes it harder to find them and they become less prominent and less noticed around the forum (even more so than stickied threads). At least as stickies, important guides stay at the top of the relevant section. With this they would be relegated to a normal thread and you'd have to go searching through threads to find them.

    As such I don't really agree with this proposal.

      or we can just add more guides in FAQ.

        Make the FAQ better somehow. I don't know how.

        I guess the least that can be done is to make a dropdown list for it for the menu bar. As for content, I don't really know how it's organized because I never bothered to look there for information. I don't know how many people actually do instead of just asking on the forums.

        The FAQ should be somewhere that could be more frequently used as a reference in comparison to the forum.
