Here's a suggestion that will be it less cluttered in here... Put at the top of the forum a couple of locked topics which will then remain at the top. i.e 9:30 Club FAQs for Newbies, Posting Guidelines, Read this first before posting as examples topics.
Personally I would like to keep posting what should be in the FAQ forum out of the regular forum. i.e. questions about cameras, set time, will such and such show sellout. I would also like to start moving such topics into the FAQ forumas long as the regulars haven't started responding to them.
See this forum for an example. This could be a big help for eddie so he isn't always responding to how many people does the club hold, how can i get such and such local band to play there, etc.
