Napalm Frog Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 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.

KC Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 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.
