If people stop answering the questions when such a thread is made, and just link to the Quick Questions Thread, then maybe the new threads will stop, eventually... Maybe... (But I still doubt it... LOL)
To be fair, the majority of the time, the people that make these threads to ask a simple question won't bother to actually do a little research. If they did do a little searching around, then they would probably know of the Quick Questions Thread. Also would explain why there's bound to be a thread during each week's maintenance period asking why the servers are down.
So having an easier time searching for said question won't stop people from just making a new thread to ask...
Then there are those cases where people search for a topic, find a really old thread with out-dated information, and think it's still good information. In those cases, they would have been just better off asking in the Quick Questions Thread. And to make it worse, sometimes they bump that thread for others to see outdated information...
