I remember logging onto the egg rescue HQ and not knowing how to do anything. I slowly figured it out. I still had to ask how to post though, and how to create new topics. And what the heck did XD stand for?!? My proposal is to create to help the new people on the board. I have three ideas, a place either; for threads on different things and everyone could collaborate to create good instructions, a thread that would list them all in one big post, and if someone saw something missing they would post it and a mod would consider it for the big list, or an expansion on the FAQ. I don't know which would be the best so I don't really know... I think the whole board should decide.

Sorry if you already voted. I couldn't edit the poll the way I wanted to so I had to get rid of the whole thing and then create it again.

They're all good ideas, but aren't really necessary. A general thread might be helpful if it is really needed, but most people should be able to figure out how to work different forum servers pretty well if they are into roleplaying. Most roleplayers wouldn't need a FAQ about how to post or start threads, unless (no offense meant to anybody, but there aren't a lot of ways to say this) they are incompetent. A slang terms thread might be helpful to those who are formal writers and do not use terms such as xD. Again, not really needed.

I'll think about it, though. If truly necessary I'll add it, but there would need to be a pretty significant percentage of users with such questions.
