I agree, Plasma. Proper moderation could make this work. I don't know that it would make a huge difference whether this information was on a mailing list or the forums. As long as the moderators were cognizant of issues that have already been solved and were able to fix someone's problem with a link to another thread on their subject....I think the general "mess" could be kept under control.

The main concern with this discussion seems to be that a lot of noise will be generated from letting 'everyone' in to the forum. If someone wants to know how to setup a server; why not let them in and find out how to do so? The concern about it becoming too noisy or having the forum filled with simple questions that could have been answered had the person read a stickied FAQ could be avoided/reduced through good moderation and helpful posters I think. - Plasma _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
