Since I'm charged with keeping these forums a place that's welcoming to both the established community AND to newcomers, let me just remind everybody that public bickering will be deleted and that PMs are the best way to resolve differences of opinion.
The Admins and Mods have never had to consume time closing outdated threads, we can keep it that way by checking thread dates before posting. If you want to update an ancient thread, create a new one with a link to the old thread.
Lastly, established community members are expected to help this community grow, which means being nice to members not yet familiar with our forum culture. Play nice folks, bottom line.
