It was going so well for a while with a couple of FAQs each week. Now there is a veritable FAQ drought.
I think they are having system issues with the FAQ queue.
Lord knows why they couldn't just do them anyway, but that's the excuse.
You want them to go through the forums by hand to find FAQs to answer?
I'd rather they didn't do FAQs.
I'd like to see one of them do a flip, don't care which one.

If only they had an army of bored geeks with too much time on their hands to try to find a few to answer....
Just so long as they tackle the psychic bloodline capstone ability first.
You think an army of bored geeks could stop arguing long enough to come up with a list?
Sure. Just say that they can't and someone will do it just to be contrarian. :)
Even if you get the "wrong" answer and get some faqs that are technically further down the list... so what? You were going to get to them eventually. Its like closing a deli rather than serving number 38 before 76 because the "now serving" number is busted.

Hey, I'm not bored!
You want them to go through the forums by hand to find FAQs to answer?
Sure. Flick through the first two pages of the rules forum, find a hot question and answer away. Nobody expects them to search the entire forum for the best FAQ to answer. We just want something to be answered. Otherwise the FAQs keep building up like they have been recently.
It's frankly a weak excuse that the FAQ queue is down. The queue should be good as an organization tool and for making sure that "popular" questions don't slip through the gaps. For picking a hot question every week while they wait for their tech support to fix things? Don't need it. Seriously, they should take less than 5 minutes per question to select one from the rules forum AND update the system once it's fixed. How long do they spend cross-referencing FAQs with various employees? A couple of man hours? More, even? 5 minutes is trivial.

It got errataed. They will now issue FAQs only on Fridays whose date does not end in a real number.

They issue them now on days that don't end with 'y'.

I thought it was always like that.
Or was that particular rule unwritten?

So then we should see a FAQ on the e of every month. Or maybe the i of each month.

That is easy, I want my FAQs on Freitag.

The letter "g" is too similar to the letter "y"; it could cause confusion among anyone using a non-standard font. They'll have to schedule for Mittwoch instead.

That only happens when the FAQ is in German, but it changes to days that don't end with 'g'.
Cuuniyevo: Mittwoch? You mean Wutenstag?
I've never heard it called Wutenstag before. We get the word Wednesday from "Woden's-day", and Wuten could very well be a variant of Woden (known in Scandinavia as Odin). Regardless, all of my German relatives say Mittwoch, or "mid-week". =]
My guess is, SKR left. He was the one who did most of them, and then got frustrated by people's responses when they happened.

haha no this isn't right
Basically since Mark has been hired (I think, might have started before, maybe SKR started it before he left) we've had a FAQ most every Friday. The the FAQ queue went down when they stopped the spam bots. And that's the reason they've given for why they've stopped. But that they should start up again once the queue is back up.

These days they use Mittwoch but it used to be Wutenstag in the tenth century [Wuotanestag in Old High German and Wodenesdag in Middle Low German]. Wutenstag is an antiquated but still technically correct word for Wednesday in German.

We can try googling this string for examples:
site:paizo.com/threads "100..1000 people marked this as FAQ candidate"
EDIT: I swear I saw Mark posting saying to be helpful in this thread rather than talk about the process or something. And another that said something else. But now there's no posts by him. Am I crazy?

Nope, he posted twice...
I saw it too. My post also went missing with this Google string:
site:paizo.com/threads "100..10000 people marked this as faq"
If you google that string it will show you possible outstanding FAQ.
Maybe the boards had a hiccup.
also this thread was moved. Any idea why it was moved?

To keep it more specific to Paizo products, and keep it from falling off the view of the main messageboard page (General Discussion moves faster than this one).

Hey guys! My posts were removed because I was not up to date with a breaking new development, of which I just learned, so they were inaccurate (though my call to make things positive and productive still stands, and I think the search string and threads you found so far, including the one I had found, are great!).
Basically, Robot Chris is so dedicated to getting us our FAQs that she is now going to reconstitute snapshots of the FAQ Queue by hand while we wait for the tech fix. This means the FAQ Queue might not be quite as agile at catching a new issue that appears suddenly, but other than that it can go back to normal soon. Woohoo!

Well, at least the FAQueue is getting fixed. Awesome, keep up the good work.Hey guys!

Robot Chris deserves all the thanks on this one. She's like a glittery robotic bypass valve! Let's all go to her "Apologize Here" thread and apologize for something as an offering to our Automaton Glitter Goddess!

I got the snapshots from Robot Chris, guys, and I think that means FAQ Friday is likely to return next Friday. Not this Friday because Jason won't be available, but for this week, I discovered one of the Top 5 FAQ questions had already been answered in the big giant Occult FAQ that we created when we discovered the tech glitch, so I marked it as answered!

Do you have a link for that Mark? I missed "the big giant Occult FAQ".

OHHHHHH... They added a FAQ section for it. That makes sense. I was thinking there was a thread I missed.
Cool, thanks Milo v3.

i is not a real number, but e is real.
e is not rational, however.
Does that mean that all FAQs will be irrational and nonsensical from now on?
