okies.... in the knowledge that this is a new forum, under development, take this as constructive critisism.
1) the number of different areas are too great -- i think for ease of use... especially early on in development of this site, you and your new community would be better served by consolidating a few. Over time, it will become obvious which subjects need their own area, and which ones dont.
2a) The FAQ's... i dont think the current one is particularly well constructed -- IMO you need to title what each paragraph is anwsering to enable people like me to quickly scroll thru for the answer i am after, rather than having to read the guff that i am not interested in at the time
2b) The FAQ's focus is narrow, but i am sure you already knew that --- wrt to point one --- this is one section i think you do away with and include FAQ's in the defferent sections ...
*edit* --- i meant the newbie section is not required --- that is what i thought the more general sections should be for -- and forum area should focus more on more in depth "veteran" brewer type things if anything at all
more later
