Is this your first online forum?
It's the nature of the beast. The most common questions are asked commonly

Faq's, stickies, and good search engines do little to stem the tide. Some forums resort to the 'search nazis' where any newcomer gets flamed for asking a common question. It's really not a nice solution as you end up with newcomers afraid to join in discussions.
Luckily, the cycle sort of supports itself. Newcomers get answers to their common questions, then down the road a little bit, they answer those same questions for the new batch of newcomers, so the original folks who answered them don't have to.
It adds a lot of noise to the board, but at least it encourages free discussion.
I see you've been here a couple months, it's your shift, so get answerin'
Btw, which should I get, Revo or Savage?
