Should we consider moving 'Beginners & Help' from 'Other' to 'Bitcoin' category

[juju]

Just a thought, I noticed that we have the 'Beginners & Help' section is in the 'Other' category. I feel as though new users might post more often in the Beginner board if it were in the 'Bitcoin' Category.

Previously we had the Newbie Jail requirement which forced people into this board for a 'bit', and because of this they knew of its existence. Now it seems like more of these questions end up on other boards: General Discussion, Economics, Development etc. Perhaps because the Beginners forum is not closer to the top?

I do not support your idea because in that section the various users are not discussing only about 'bitcoin' but also other things. Maybe it will be better move only the section a little bit up, instead to move it in another category.

I haven't seen many off-topic questions in the sections you mentioned which belongs in 'Beginners & Help'.

'Beginners & Help' belongs to 'Other' because users make/post threads/questions which is not related to Bitcoin. So these questions will be off-topic if it is moved to 'Bitcoin' category. This fits whete it is now. No need to move IMHO.

Perhaps both of you are correct, I haven't been frequenting the boards as often as I used too. When I do now, I see at-least half a dozen or more questions a week that could be in the Newbie area, most just end up sliding into the abyss, being passed up by other threads which demand attention. I try to toss an answer to them If I can, but I cant but help get the feeling that they are having a hard time finding the beginner board.

I think its odd we have no beginner section under the category 'Bitcoin', I think because of this new users ask basic questions we have seen for years multiple times a week.
