You guys are only showing and proving the exact same attitude I just described.
Yes, I searched for more than 5 minutes, there's no need to be so condescending. And I'm not saying anything about how the forums are run, simply that since there doesn't seem to be an easy way to find everything you want, and the attitude shown when people ask questions is what it is, it's not really a great environment for new people to join. Treat people like they're stupid, and you're not going to get great responses. Also, it's pretty obvious to me that the people around here have had just a tiny bit longer than 3 hours to compile one or two threads, which is all it would take. But I'm pretty sure I could do it within a day or two, given enough work spent on it. Especially since the amount of time I described, half a day, is probably enough for most people to find what they want to find.
A person who has more knowledge already would be able to do this much faster. I don't really think that's a debatable point.
Besides, if you're annoyed by a post, no one is making you respond to it.
I'm not trying to come off like a jerk here. It's just that I can see things from the new guy's point of view, being pretty fresh to the scene myself, and I know that for me, I had to crawl around in the dark for a few hours before I even had a clue what I was doing. And that's while using the stickies/FAQs you mentioned. What we might be looking for is more of a general newbie's guide to modding FF7/8, with every bit of basic information and explanation needed. Most of this would probably require little to no revision over time, and make things much easier for people, not to mention save quite a bit of the "annoying" questioning.
