Tiggz - would the 2 which haven't been touched for ages be considered required reading for new users? IMO not, though from the authors and the subject matter I suspect they'd stay.
HG_Eliminator - I agree...but if some people do wish to trim the fat, then maybe the more advanced ones could be rolled up into a single FAQ thread with links to the details in other threads?
In fact, why not have an FAQ thread made sticky? Get a good list of items together through discussion, get the wording just right (Like the wallpaper one greyhaze took the effort to create) and post it, sticky it, and lock it...most people are familiar with the concept of an FAQ and some may even click on it before posing a first question...?
