A couple of top, notable members are quite active on the beginners' board. And should be credited for it.
Some I believe have been quoted to have put beginners' and help board on ignore cause of the supposed spamming going on there.

And in saying, some of the threads and topics started there are at times redundant and irrelevant and not made with the intention of growing knowledge.
But the legitimate newbies, willing to learn should (and likely would) get the needed assistance.
