Although I don't post much, it does take a good amount of time to sort through the drivel from the good information. In other words the signal to noise ratio is rather low. With the sport of flaming the noob that is common here and giving out dumb advice as a joke to those in the know, its a wonder why long time posters come to this same conclusion. I agree that it seems this place is more of a social forum in the context of rock climbing. Perhaps better moderation of the posts would help the overall feel of the site. Cheers
This is another problem that a FAQ could alleviate. People regularly tell new posters to do a search (me included). Do you know what you get when you do a search? Lots of similar topics, with respondents telling new people to do a search. Sorting through relevant topics for actual information can be a chore, and sorting the wheat from the chaff once you find actual discussion is another.
With a FAQ, there's the opportunity to provide widely agreed-upon information where it's easy to find. Instead of yelling, "Do a search, n00b," we could say, "Check the FAQ, n00b!" Still, new users will act like new users.
