I do agree with some of your gripes Occam, but the fact remains that although the search is pretty decent, it does fail in some regards but maybe you've never used the advanced search options, that never failed me. I always found what I was looking for.

The fact remains that some people want to get spoon-fed and after a while it irks people. I came here not to long ago knowing nothing about multi boxing, found all I needed to know and was ready to go in under an hour.

The wiki should be easier to find but failing that the stickies are pretty obvious.
