well im a newb...and when i wanted to get information on something, i would search for it, only to be disappointed by the fact that the topic no longer exists... so what is a newb to do, other than to start a new one. if people were tired of the same questions being asked in a certain topic, then there should be a sticky at the top(like in the wheels and tires section) that are found mostt often in a topic. or maybe they should just make a FAQ page altogether, and put it at the top, adressing ALL questions that seem to show up 500 times.
