Yeah, that's actually a good idea too. For now though I'll go edit the OP

Yeah we could move some of the newbie centric faqs there to declutter the main forums

Edited. Probably should move my comment, so I shall.

I think a getting Started/ Introductions forum is a great idea.

Sweet, A gentle reminder to new users to check the pinned threads especially the rules/faq and do a quick search before posting new threads (ie tattos, how do I perform live) in the op of that thread might be a good idea too!

Gotcha covered

I think that's a good idea, and I'd probably introduce myself on it too! Not here though, I refuse to introduce myself here... unless you remove the question mark from this thread title and move it to the appropriate section.

Seems like there has been quite and influx of new users recently with quite a few "hi im new" threads and duplicate topics. Any thoughts on making a specific pinned "introduce yourself here" thread maybe with links to a couple of pertinent faqs? Might lower redundancy a little?
