The Opinion Exchange forum and AMV Contests forum are also an indirect way to find AMVs, even if you aren't exchanging opinions or taking part of a contest. There's also other users favorite Anime Music Videos list, if they have any listed/updated.

I didn't do it cuz I didn't like the idea. Isn't this like asking a question if you can ask a question?? Your posting a FAQ about a god damned FAQ!! Fucking mass spam, that's the last thing the org needs.

For the most part... I would just keep the state of mind "Less is more" cause if you give them a bunch of stuff to read and lots of links to other faq, there's no way in hell they are gonna go and actually read them all due to being overwhelmed... Especially since most just come to watch videos.

When new users create an account you could easily just have then select from 2 categories as to what they are going to do with it. 1=Plan to just watch amv's, 2=Become an AMV editor.

Option 2 would send them Both versions of your faq if they selected it. Besides if they changed their mind later on down the road they should be familiar enough with the org to find their own way to what they need by then.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Ah. Yeah. Didn't think of that. I don't want people thinking I might actually earn that someday. Perhaps I should hold off until after VCAs to do this. Or just make this nothing but a link to my guide on how to be an asshole.

Have you looked at the other responses in this thread yet? gt-dragon needs pointed to a faq on sig banners and, perhaps, one on uploading avatars. Pankyy apparently needs pointed to the thread about embedding. Oto linked to a resource I didn't even know existed and I've been around seven years now. So while it is a faq about faqs, it's also probably needed...

Yeah, I found it later :sweat:. I really didn't know it was for donators, I actually thought it didn't even exist. Maybe I had to be more in touch with the announcement forum :P

Only Godix could teach how to fuck noobs but no thanks *_*

I liked Eva fan's idea about having two paths. Sure, this would help SOME ppl, but so would a fucking enema but you don't mass mail that shit around do you??
