Maybe there could be some kind of homework/general FAQ topic.
For example, someone needs to know what the Monroe Doctrine was. They post, “I need to know what the Monroe Doctrine is.” Someone answers.
Also, there have been many “My computer is…” and “Where can I find…?” kinds of topics. Putting them into one would make it quicker and more organized.
Responding to Pom, if ABSOLUTELY necessary, maybe there could be a completely new forum under “General”. Questions could be topics, like Yahoo Answers.
Not expecting that though. More leaning towards a pinned topic.
