Knowing HOW to search is often the issue for noobs, like do they know how what a wildcard is and how to use it. Google may be your friend but if you don't know what to look for, it can be maddening. The thing noobs don't often realize is that they should read every sticky in every remotely related forum before asking their question. This also means that admins have a responsibility to maintain that info and keep it fresh. It's a two way street.

That being said, this forum seems to me to be one of the best with regard to welcoming newcomers. I'm damn impressed. The upcoming Sixbennetts raffle might be the coolest thing I've ever seen on a site such as this. Keep up the good work, repgeeks.
