a) Thanks for all this effort, and it does actually help. But also realize you're mostly going to get comments on the extreme sides and not from general users where this has been a general help tool. If the thread views go up but there are no new questions, I'd assume it's working.
b) As Shagrath stated somewhere recently he's been "out of commission" for about the past month due to a variety of reasons (eg dead PS3) but should be back in development mode (and looking at forum questions/requests) pretty soon.
c) I have a pretty good memory for issues that keep popping up, so I'll try to link-in the threads that clearly lay out the issue (and hopefully solution) as they come by, and if needed they can be re-drafted into concise help points like the others already in this thread.
d) This forum is still young compared to some other open source communities, so just give it some time.
And for my one current comment:
With it's current size a thread will suffice, but the larger this gets it's going to get cluttered fairly easily and really ruin the effectiveness. It'll probably be better to start a separate, wiki-esque site that can be organized with clear navigation between the various troubleshooting tips and configuration how-tos. That's not really feasible with the current forum setup and I think is outside of the scope of how an effective forum should function.
