More one thread whining about toady... I'm tired of these kind of threads like "Can I haz multiplayar?''  or "3D graphics! WoW has 3D why dwarf fortress doesn't?".

We need some sticked FAQ thread with answers to such questions as they repeat almost every few days.
1. Why DF is not open source?
2. Why Toady doesn't hire more coders?
3. Why DF is not multithreaded?
4. Why DF doesn't have 3D graphics?
5. Why DF is not multiplayer?
6. There wasn't any release last 3 months, is DF still developed?
And the like...

I brought up Mario 64 in conversation with a friend, only to find out he's never played it, then when trying to describe it he says, like vice city? NO,
so I say, it's like banjo kazooie, but he's never played that, then I say it's a 3d platformer, he says,... like vice city? NO NOT LIKE VICE CITY, he's never played a 3d platformer, I ask if he's played sonic adventure or Jak and Daxter to try to give him an idea of what a 3d platformer is, Finally I ask if he's played Donkey Kong 64, he says he has, and claims it is JUST like vice city,  and therefore Mario64 = like Vice city

Spoiler:  snippit of our convo (click to show/hide)

NOT LIKE FUCKING VICE CITY
in mario 64 you don't have a gun
