![]() Forums need traffic to survive and a lot of the traffic comes from people asking the same old questions, over ad over again. And of course it is wrong to assume that youth means ignorance. I am not in the first flush of youth and started serious redemption and international flying a couple of years ago. I am still finding my feet and would happily learn from younger but more experienced posters.
Perhaps it might be an idea to have a "sandbox" forum where learners - young and old alike - can post stupid questions and see whether they get answers. Then more experienced members could choose whether to dipinto the sandbox or not - but would have no excuse to be irritated by what they find there. And anyone could post in the main forum if/when they want but risk being flamed if their question is really stupid. Personally, though, I'd rather see people in dire need in an emergency feel they could ask for help anywhere on the site, even starting a new thread, than have their emergency go unresolved. Sorting a personal crisis is way more important than keeping the threads looking neat. IMO. |

I quote this sentence of yours, since I would like to clarify (and re-assure you) that SQT lives everyday thanks to contributions from SQtalkers and founders. They are the men (and the women) allowing SQT to exist, financially speaking. Thanks to God, we don't have to reach any traffic limit or hits to survive (and this explains the total lack of advertising on the site) =) Have a great day. Luke

![]() There's a clear difference between people who have genuine inquiries and people who are deliberately being disruptive though, and as we've seen in the past on SQTalk (and no doubt on other forums) - age isn't necessarily the sole determinant of this.

![]() Hello,
the search function is a feature included in the VB software. Except some basic settings, there's no space or possibility to make significant changes without strong modification to the script. I'm very unlikely to edit it, particularly because incompatibility or issues could rise particularly with upgrades and new releases. Differently from many forums where the minimum lenght for search is 4 letters, we are allowing the 3 letters search that's very important since the airport codes are now included. Regarding the possibility of having a better section within the FAQ's I'm not sure what you mean but I'm ok. FAQs can be easily added or removed. I'm ready to welcome any things to add in this area. AS well, I'm happy you offered yourself to prepare some new questions to be added. Thank for your suggestion and your help.
