Do any Newbies read the FAQ ?

Ok.. so my point of this thread was too see if any one reads the FAQ at the start of the Main Forum.  And it appears nobody does.  

So I guess there's no need to keep a history of the questions here since people are just going to ask the same questions over and over again.

I started this thread because as someone who has been here for over 3 years, I find it funny that the same questions get asked on a weekly basis.  And sometimes I read them and sometimes I don't.  

But if someone spends 5 mins looking at the FAQ or searching for your question using the SEARCH funcation, you'll see a few posts regarding your questions.  And you'll probably find your answer.

There is a need for the FAQ's; when a newbie asks them, we can pleasantly link them to the thread with the FAQ while welcoming them to BYOAC and encouraging their enthusiasm.

I do read the FAQs and use the search function. I can understand that people can be annoying. I once saw someone on this board post a question that was answered in the topic just below his. FAQs help some people, but the impatient people ask their questions before any research. Everyone can be impatient if they are excited about something. I did not mean say you started this thread because you are grumpy or anything. because threads like this do make some of the newbies(like me) search extra hard for answers before they post. I am just not always so good with searching for answers. When I do a search I either have too many topics to read or not any. I guess I don't know how to pick keywords. Anyways I got off topic. The point I want to make though is that even if someone slips and posts a few newbie questions, I hope people will still help them, and forgive their eagerness.

Example of using the Search Function:

If I was interested in searching for posts regarding a 4 player panel I was interested in building. You would search for:

"4 Player Control Panel"  - Match as Phrase

Search Main Forum.

I just did a search for this phrase for the past 90 days.  And I got over 27 posts using this tag.
