Forum Resurrection - Format

[Aquattro]

Well, turns out this forum has been hidden for 7 years, so let's bring it back.

What we would like to see here are articles/posts with information applicable to newcomers in the hobby. We can then have a Q&A following that post, but only this type of informative post will be permitted as a thread starter.
All posts are moderated in this forum and subject to review before publishing. (I think!)
