I agree. The stuck posts at the top of the forum are not really pushing 
new visitors to read them.
I've argued before, and I stand by that, that a *ReadMeFirst* ad at the 
top of the forum would be a good idea.
I should have some lightly colored background and border to make it 
stand out.
It should link to short and long information pages about using the 
forum, preferable attitudes, how to search and the voluntary  bases of 
the forum.
Maybe this is not doable for technical reasons ?

The FAQ part would be very nice, but It would certainly require some man 
power.

Yes, I think the FMI has it's own beauty, and should stay.
Not every new self sustained blogger is accustomed to the language, but 
there is a link to more elaborate installation instructions.
And, as you mention, we have the install4free as a last resort.
You shouldn't be shot for bringing that up ;)
