This has been discussed to death privately by the moderators with many other members involved and it's just not going to happen. Beginners should read the sticky at the top, that will protect them from flaming.
Fair enough. It's not the concern about flaming because that would happen regardless. It would just break the forum up a bit more; so instead of main forum displaying a lot of what to buy (even I posted this type of question in here); the beginners forum would provide a place for these types of questions. The main forum would be a step up regarding more detailed questions and then the race forum is a step up further. Right now it seems that BF has the far left and far right; without any middle group.
Cheers!
