Fair enough, concept is the same. One simply puts more onus on the newfags to actually put effort in before making a fool of themselves, thereby gatekeeping out those who lack the brain or patience to be worth allowing in, while the other requires some top tier person putting in constant effort to maintain such a document.
One big issue there is that there is almost no consensus or "unbiased, trustable source" that we can all agree on to maintain such a thing. It was probably easier back then for you with the smaller group and more aligned interests that brought people there.
