    That depends upon whether anyone has any actual questions to add to the FAQ part of it. If we're question-free, I'm happy to do one final edit to remove a couple of lines and we're done.

    To some it could be a wall of 'happy places'.

    So, where did the FAQ go?

    It is just an idea, but I think that we miss two or more people of the prominent members on the FAQ: Silvera, Xiao_Caity, etc. Also, should Snowmane be on the Lost List as well?

    Different FAQ, Arthgon. Also, I think that is updated at Vorak's whim.

    The prominent members thing was indeed in Jarinor's FAQ (later updated by Vorak), but the Lost Men are in Xiao's FAQ. A little bit of everything.

    Aah. I missed that section. I don't think Snowmane qualifies, personally, because Calis was the original owner &/or founder of T-A, I believe. I don't know who the other individual is. If you're going to get into missing ancients, there's also Jarinor, Monkeypunch,* and several others who held power and are now gone.


    *I think that was his name. Clarification, anyone?

    I can't be bothered to check. Is Jinxed on the list of Lost Men?

    According to all known logic, he should be.

    Just a though. There was a proposition made by Skyfish that Xiao's FAQ could become a super-sticky, but it didn't seem to be possible from the technical side. So why not make a FAQ thread in every single section, with the exact ctrl+c, ctrl+v'ed text. It wouldn't cause any trouble since the thread is perma-closed anyway. it would not be technically a super-sticky, but it would matter, since it would practically play it's role.
    This could be best done after Xiao considers her FAQ finished, because updating this form of the FAQ would take some time, since it would mean updating it in every single section. However, once a FAQ is finished it rarely needs updates, and the system would make every newcomer see it before clicking "new thread" no matter in which section will they upload their first post.

    Something tells me it'd be easier to fix the technical issue, rather than actually copying it to every forum.

    There are ten forums altogether, not counting the Vault of Folly. It may not be a very fascinating job, but it would take only a few moments to copy it to all of them. For posting the FAQ, it's propably quicker than dealing with the technical issue, which can be fixed in the meantime just in case of future updates.
