I've been lurking about on a few airsoft fb pages and one huge issue that keeps coming up constantly is the lack of available, and spread of, information.
I find myself arguing with people on a weekly basis about how barrels affect and (more importantly) DON'T affect range and accuracy, how range is only affect by fps when it's congruent to BB weight, and many other very important discoveries we've made years ago that these communities still don't know about.

So I got to thinking, ASC sure has come a long way in 10 years. Not just in technical expertise, but also in how we treat new players.
We pretty much used to flame most new people asking simple questions. And the typical answer for any simple question was "use the search function" for quite a while.
I've noticed we either have a lot less repetitive questions here, or they get plugged with a sticky thread of the info they need right away.

So just how well informed are the new people?
How good of a job are we doing of helping the new players?
