REQ: a "get up to speed" thread. (or clean the whole forum/site)

Ok so this was born out of a post I did in another thread but I thought I would post my thoughts in a thread for it self.

Frankly the forum and the mod area is VERY messy, especially if you have not kept up lately and is trying to navigate it.

I am quite experienced with mods in general but unfortunately SH5 i becoming more and more inaccessible due to the amount of mods, tutorials, patches and so on. And of course the structure of the actual site.

I plan to make a new update of my modsoup BUT I have now spent at least 15h just downloading and trying to get my head around all mods and forum posts again. (probably spent at least 200h doing this before and that's a lot less then many others here but just thinking about doing this again gives me a headache)

I will probably need another 20h to get the game where I want
(and that is not including me training my skills so I can actually hit a fast moving merchant again...)

The Question
Is it in the works or even thought of to clean or update the site? (yes that is a massive amount of work so) If not,
Would it be possible to create a "GET UP TO SPEED" sticky thread with ONE download (megamod like the one Rongels i creating now) and not links to 150 mods, and just a few basic tutorials. Hopefully highlighted in some way so it's easier to see then it is to browse the sticky threads today.

EDIT: Maybe a sticky thread is not the right thing to do but a new subforum for new SH5 players to get up to speed is better?
(and for people like me just diving in from time to time)

(This criticism is only because of my love for the game and all the talented people making it playable, I want to make that clear

)
