Moderating a FAQ
Good luck! Build a FAQ. Build an entire web site...it really doesn't matter...the questions will keep on coming. Unless their computers had ESP and automatically opened up to the answer to their questions on your FAQ...they will post the question in the forum long before they will click on a FAQ link. I'm not saying this is bad, it's just the way it is. It's why the forums are here. It's why they have so much traffic. It's normal progression. Nothing makes a person, who has been flying for a year, feel better than helping a newbie just getting started...the same way he was helped a year earlier. Nothing makes an old fart feel better than using his years of experience to help an intermediate pilot set up his first elevons...etc...etc...you get the picture. It's human contact. It's like talking to someone at the field. It knowing someone takes enough interest in you that they are willing to reply...personally, just to you. We feed on it. It makes us feel good. Even if you do make the worlds most comprehensive R/C FAQ known to man...I guarantee that you will still be answering the same questions over and over on the forums...the only thing the FAQ will do is give you something to link to in your reply posts.
