Can we move the 'Beginners and Audiophytes' section to a more prominent location than (what I consider to be) an afterthought? While we are at it, let's also give them a ton of stickies on layout, calibration, "AH recommended system for your budget", etc. The Mods will need to enforce that all noob topical threads be created in the beginners section and move errant threads as required. Maybe, if someone has 'Audiophyte' status, they can only post in the beginners sections.
IMHO, this may help alleviate some of the aggravation that has lead to the slow exodus of good posters, the most recent being Jamie.
PS. If not anything else, at a minimum let's increase the display date cutoff in the Beginners section. I find it rather odd when posts disappear while the discussion seems ongoing or the topic has not come to fruition.
