Why not make it a sticky like the one Foxy made for the Giant Scale forum?

I found that very helpful as a newbie.
Not that this really concerns me as I'm not in to RTR's or anything, but I agree that having the same questions pop up every week in a new thread can get a bit repetitive and in the end people can't be bothered to answer the same questions over and over again.
If everything is covered well - and it has to be detailed to answer most questions straight away - it helps everyone.
Any further questions can then be dealt with in the forum.
