Hi Matt

So really, what drives you to support people?


When I receive support Im extremely grateful, so the best way to show
gratitude is by reciprocating that support.

Learn more, and then be able to share more. Motivation is not always the
issue, in a lot of cases its spare time (I think I speak for many people
here).

Some more thoughts on the general subject of support:

Forums are a very good resource but people do tend to re-post problems
rather than search old posts, information re-use would help to keep the
amount of posts down and searches more succinct, I think tags and good
search practices help here. A good idea might be a sticky post on forums
with tips on how to get the best searches etc.

My daily job involves support. Sometimes customers re-raise known issues and
the company I work for is on a drive to improve knowledge re-use and
discouraging repeat issues etc. Its a good idea but a tricky task. I think
its difficult to create a balanced knowledge base with not too many articles
but with a good range of topics covered.
