Now if Drex or TS would sticky this then we would be good to go.

I can sticky it for now. Thanks for the work to compile this. TS / EarlyMon or the other mods might want to modify it later, but this should suffice for now.

 

[busted bones]

Thank you, I had actually talked to Drex about this earlier to help keep relevant info easily available and still leave room to sticky new and important threads as they come along since few stickies permanently remain in that position.

 

[drexappeal]

I'm going to unsticky the other threads now. Thanks for putting this together.

As you find more "useful" threads, you can PM me links, so I can add them on your first post.
