At the very least until it's updated.

You could also put each sentence on its own line.

A community originally founded on discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly.

Now tackling every subject with the same humor, intelligence, and obsessiveness.

I'm for an update. You could just say something like "we have a helpful FAQ". IME people who will read the FAQ will read it, and people who won't won't, regardless of whether you tell them to. So maybe just letting people know it's there is enough.

There is no way that even a wholesale updating of that FAQ would be necessary for someone to do before posting. I have no problem with it as a document, I just don't want to tell people to read it before posting. And updating is a huge task that various people have tried to take on without success.

"If you're interested in the history of the community, you might want to take a look at the FAQ."?

The FAQ was originally useful for letting people decode our show-based lingo - at least half of it is explaining characters' nicknames. Now that we're a general-purpose internet community, I don't feel like that sort of thing comes up as often.

That said, I love the FAQ and read the whole thing last night and then got sucked into the BRQG for like an hour when I should have been sleeping. So I don't want it to go anywhere, but I'm not sure it's a necessary prereq for understanding any of the conversations happening now.

How does the BRQG get updated?

Perhaps it should say "Read our site etiquette" instead of FAQ.

Do we need to put this up for a vote? Or can the description be adjusted as described? What is the next step?

I just checked the code and that subheader is hard-coded into the index.php page. I'd rather not change it without ita's go-ahead.

Is ita ever coming back? Its so weird without her.
