FAQs used to be a common part of the Usenet experience.
rec.games.frp.misc never seems to have had one, although I saw a few
examples of e.g. a Fudge FAQ when searching old messages.
Outside of providing answers to frequently asked questions they often
were good in establishing context and a common netiquette for the
newsgroup.
E.g. the rec.games.frp.cyber FAQ which establishes the whole tag system
that the few posters using it still use http://www.faqs.org/faqs/games/roleplay/cyber-faq/
Would it make sense to resume posting them, or has this idea just
outlived itself? Most of the last ones I have found are from 20 years ago.
That is in fact the case, there are no frequent questions here because there's barely anything frequent.
But that never was the problem with FAQs, a lot basically were just informational documents.
