For a number of years, these forums were in a bit of a bad way as there was no real support from iXsystems, and their solution was to conscript some of us as moderators. That being nearly an impossible challenge for a small number of not-entirely-willing longtime users, I took to trying to answer all the common questions I could in the form of stickies (many of which are now the newer "Resources"). At one point it was maybe just four or five of us mods and regular users doing most of the heavy lifting.
As you can see, a good crew of regulars has developed, and I've been able to avoid the frantic try-to-answer-everything-I-can mode in recent years because there are many more people to take up the slack.
Please feel free to repay iXsystems for their gift of high quality commercial-grade NASware by doing the same thing I've done -- invest a little time to answer questions now and then. This helps them continue to develop FreeNAS, and helps the community be the awesome place that it's become over the last nine years.
Great first post! :)
