Great guide, but wouldn't it be honestly faster to use the search function?

Oh wait, there are weirdos who don't use it. Then again, I guess they are the people who don't look at the stickies.

I know this is a "unofficial guide" but I think its vital that it includes a link to the FAQ. So many questions about Neowin its self can be answered in this thread. I think you should list it in the same area that you talk about the rules. So many people over look this thread.
