		<description><![CDATA[@ Sonny, it came through perfectly...

I must say, I don&#039;t have the time or ability to put such a site together, and I think it would probably need some of the brains behind SubCreation to make it worthwhile.

I agree that a couple of the problems with EJ are:
1) It&#039;s at the highest level.  if you aren&#039;t 70 (or soon 80) then a lot of the information or assistance isn&#039;t available
2) Often the juicy bits are lost within 100&#039;s of pages of discussion.  The discussion is great and necessary, but it would be nice if the cream was scooped off the top occasionally and starts a new thread.

I guess WoWWiki is sort of the end of the line for the FAQs.

Ultimately I guess the biggest problem I see with Mage Forums is that they tend to be fractured.
- Top end - covered at EJ
- Low -&gt; Pre-End-End game... misc forums, wiki&#039;s etc

Personally I don&#039;t have a solution, but if anyone stumbles across one, let me know and I will check it out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More useful than a forum would be the FAQ that grows from it?

Ex: Ghost hit on frostbolt? Are we sure?

Ex: Hunters in PvP? OMGWTFBBQ!

And I would hope for more friendly thready goodness. The 100+ page &quot;This Is The Mage Thread&quot; nature of Elitist Jerks.

And it needs to be moderated like a mofo.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think a Mage forum would be a wonderful idea. I&#039;m a big fan of Elitist Jerks, but having switched servers and mains I now find myself in the low &quot;end-game&quot; content and I feel there is little help to be had there.

A Mage forum would also be a place where I would feel comfortable in joining in on the discussion, something I don&#039;t feel on the EJ forums.

That concludes my 2 cents :)

Thanks for bringing this up!]]></description>
