That's a good idea, or at least the most constructive presented in this

Once upon a time, FAQs were really answers to Frequently Asked 
Questions. Later, companies stating putting "FAQ pages" or even "FAQ 
sections" on their web sites, often answering just question they wanted 
people to ask - you c an even see "FAQs" on brand new sites, so that 
nobody really had the opportunity to ask a question, not to mention 
asking a question frequently.

It seems that discussions about the FAQ are, at best, about questions 
that used to be frequently asked here years ago; at worst, much worse. 
Some of them might still be relevant. But talking about FAQs is 
disproportionate, when there are so few real on-topic questions here, 
and hardly any frequently asked questions. And all the foolish talk 
about FAQs, in addition to frequent trolling, with pointless lectures 
that carefully avoid answering real questions realistically, has made 
the relatively amount, and probably the absolute amount too, of genuine 
questions smaller and smaller.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to declare a Usenet group officially 
dead. And maybe this group still has some hope. Maybe the wannabe "FAQ 
maintainers" just find some other things to spoil, leaving more space to 
actual discussions about JavaScript. Maybe pigs will fly.
