Though I am (surprisingly?) full member, I am still a newbie in this forum - especially regarding the rules (yeah, my bad, I know). So although the start of this thread was fun, it turned out as something informative for me.
A "thank you" goes especially to Dare.
No offense at all, but that's why I hope we can find some ways to
force new bitcointalk users to read those important stickies and force every users to revise them once a while.
None taken, you are completely right.
But maybe, just maybe, this forum/software is not structured well? For example the most important links you can always see are "Show unread posts...", "Show new replies.." and "Watchlist".
Maybe a new link (Forum rules?) would be welcome there.
And the silly question of the day: where are those (important) stickies? Is it the "NEWBIE README" from "Beginners & Help"? (If it's that, I am sure that more than 60% of the users have never read it.)
