Method Description Page

[watermelon]

Due to the rising number of questions concerning various speedcubing methods, I propose that we create a thread / sticky that has descriptions, links, etc. for all of the commonly known methods and variations, as well as some other lesser know ones. Also, we could do this for puzzles other than 3x3 (big cubes, square-1, magic / master magic, and BLD are a few that come to mind). Let me know if you all think this would be a good idea, and of course, it would be a collaborative effort.

Great idea.

My suggestion to this:
Locked, stickied thread, with each post containing a different topic. Then another thread for feedback and discussion of that thread.

(actually one idea I like, from another VBulletin forum, is the "Guides" section of this forum.

Sadly many great ideas seem to go unnoticed on that forum, or lack interest... anyway, thanks for the support Sam . I hope to start on this tonight or tomorrow.

do you want me to start compiling some known websites for some of the more obscure puzzles? (Magics, Pyraminx, Sq-1 etc.)

I think Jaap's page is pretty good for all of those.
But it can't hurt.

Sounds like a good idea. Feel free to get it started.

Jon, as far as the "Guide Forum", we have something like this in the How-To forum. What else is the difference.

I think that the presentation looks a little nicer, with possibility of each tutorial being split up into pages, with individual entries on different pages. So Doug's Commutator/Conjugates tutorial would be split into 4 pages - intro, commutators, conjugates, applications. I think it would be more organized and easier to read if it were split up like that.
