deja vu
Every time I come here (Research) and to the TS Editing forum, I keep seeing the same silly questions over and over. "How do i get Spinning rotors, How do I make a aircraft carry infantry and how do I insert new Infantry and building voxels" [yes i meant to write VOXELS]
Anyway, i find this quite annoying and im sure some of the other people having to answer these questions do to (Banshee and thedvd for example)
What I propose is a FAQ sticky thread, It will be a well organized FAQ and members will be encouraged to read it before posting deja vu topics (and in some cases arguing a case which was proven wrong 2 years ago)
It would take a while to build this FAQ up but it would be arranged into section (just a forum message) and anyone can suggest questions/answers to add to it.
From things like "How do I install a typical mod" to "what can I use to make new TS maps" etc (or any other questions that always popup on these forums)
If all goes well, ill use the very same FAQ for TumSun Editing boards there too

What do you think

I think we did this in the wagnerma.de forums but the people kept posting. I'm thinking that if they post a question and it's solved then make the thread a sticky. Just a suggestion... _________________ Creator of Tiberian Sun: Firepower QUICK_EDIT

or you could make FAQ threads that are stickies like:
"Voxels" or "making a unit" and stuff like that... _________________ Tiberian Station
