Do we need a forum FAQ?

I'm relatively new here, and mostly pick up on things from reading more than writing and asking questions, unless there's something I simply must know and can't wait for someone else to ask.

However, there is alot of inside info flying around the board (and, really, many watch fora). WIS, DH (still not sure of this one), TT, SS, etc... Also, things like tosser.

Is there maybe a need to have someone write an FAQ that would cover these common topics, so we don't continually get quesitons about them. I'm not criticizing those asking, as I myself have asked such things. However, it might save people some aggravation at answering the same questions over and over again.

Just a thought.

Good point, Darren. We have a fantastic Rolex Links & Resources section with some great info.

I wish more of these guys would just click there before asking so many questions here.

We'd like to save this forum for some fun and laughter as of yore!!

WIS? Is that someone from Wisconsin?

Maybe add an index of terminology to the already posted FAQs page?

You may get dehydrated from all the drooling you do over your TT Subbo.

Its all very very simple this vBulletin forum software must be one of the best around.And on the top of forum page,just under The Rolex Forums - The Finest Rolex Forum.There is a blue task bar with user CP,FAQ,ETC and if you continue across the magical word search.Now vBulletin forum search is very good and should be your first port of call.Or look in our own Rolex Links And Resources, there really is a lot of information in there.And on the forums main page every forum clearly states to what topics go into what forum.And clearly states that,This particular forum is for Rolex related topics only.
