Hi again MrMazda.
A newbie list might be handy, but perhaps that's covered already in the FAQ? I was thinking more along the lines of newbies wanting to announce "hey I'm here, this is a little about me, I'm looking forward to this, or I'm a little confused about that" - giving them an outlet to contribute once they join. Also to allow them to get help without any negativity (e.g. "heya mate, yeah it can be really confusing at first to work out uploads. Some guides have been written, and the links are below" versus "if you actually read the forum, you'd know it is here. And here. And here. Pffft!").
Feel free to PM me if you like - and yeah I can understand that I'm new and "unknown" here. There might be some users on here who know me from other boards who can vouch for how evil I am. ;D
