Guys, I thought maybe the site needed a manual/help reference for newbies. So I started the site manual. I am 1/3 of the way done and thought "is it too redundant? it just copies the site more or less."

Do you guys think my idea is good? Or it's just redundant?

Here is the attachment if you guys wanted to see it:

edit: oh, dang, I think I put it in the wrong forum. Feel free to move it, admins!

I feel strangely overwhelmed.

Check your spelling in someplaces. You are calling abandonia abandonic.

@ Blast: I know, I noticed that. Its that the size of the font (10, I think) is so small that the "a"s look like "c"s.

(Don't worry, I won 3rd place in my school spelling bee one year) :D

Edit: wait a minute <takes out magnifying glass> those ARE c's!!!!!!!!!

:kosta:

actually, I thought abandonware itself has no legal status, and w are techinically pirating, which IS illegal, but companies have given us permission, or they just don't care (referring to the first section of it)

You sure? Well, that's what this thread is for: advice.

Yes, I read that part in the FAQ section. I wasnt sure as to what to say about the legality of the abandonware, so I just said it was legal. I can change it though, if you want.

I would say that's up to the admins. Once you finish it, have them go through and be like "no, yes, no no no, yes yes, no" etc.

great. its kinda off on the facts though. like the part about command and conquer being downloadable. Its ESA protected

I think it's a good idea, actually, although there are a few errors in the text as it stands (abandonware is not perfectly legal, for example, and the language spoken in Norway isn't Norse ;)). The only problem I can see with it is that hardly anybody ever bothers to read FAQs, which is a shame, obviously, but there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it.
Did you mean it as an addition to the existing FAQ page, Indi, or were you planning on implementing that information as well and replacing it?

and besides it really really sounds like propaganda. Not like just steady advertising
