Inspired by the administration's great step to get rid of all the unnecessary stickies, I decided to make a list of every useful thread that is not a sticky. And oh boy, there are quite a lot of them. Here goes:

Almost all of the forum threads are quite long and extensive, but as I have read most of them through, I can guarantee they have some useful help. It's the destiny of all threads to become sidetracked, but amongst all that drama and bitching are great jewels of help, hints, tips, tricks, guidelines, for all of us to start writing, continue our hobby and hone our writing skills, maybe even to the level of publication. Only if every beginning writer had the patience to read through them all...
Also, as I actually trudged through the whole sub-forum, reading only the titles for most part, fortunately, I can say that the newbie writers who ask critique when they actually need a grammar book, people asking for characters and ideas and attention whores aren't a new phenomenon. They have always been here. Trust me. I laughed at some threads, and I was only reading the titles.
Also also, special thank you for foozzzball, kitreshawn, M. Le Renard and Poetigress, in alphabetical order, the forums need more people like you and less people like me. If I removed all threads not written by you... the list wouldn't really suffer at all. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
If anyone wants to add some other useful thread or other resource, just comment. If you want to contribute for the topics discussed in the threads, post in the corresponding thread.
Final thing... I propose this thread is made sticky. We can afford a fourth sticky and I think this gathers nicely all useful stuff under one thread. Edit: And I received a reply to my request in less than two hours. Who says administration is all bad?
