This, children, is a good example of a FAQ where an ASCII header is best skipped.

The FAQ itself is 1,876 bytes.

565 of those are the ASCII.

I think it's about time we have a Biggest/Smallest/Everything in between FAQ threads we have about once a year.

I believe the FAQ selmiak posted is the smallest one on GameFAQs.

Or if not, definitely one of the top five.

Okay, we need to first compile a list of different categories (smallest FAQ, largest FAQ list for a game, etc). Then we need to find such things (such as the smallest FAQ ever). Then we can put a final list of it altogether for like, historical moments *shrugs*

I like the first one from the simple fact that it's so small yet half of the words are incorrect.

I've seen a Baseball FAQ (The NES Baseball) with 1KB before, so it doesn't really surprise me to see a file this small.

Yes, that's a good site too, but we need to take that and expand on it. Smallest FAQ ever (by bytes)

This is my all time favorite FAQ. It's not the smallest (close, though), but still makes me laugh every time I see it.

I bet I have seen over 100 of these topics in the last 3 years.

I think there is a 0KB one, not really 0 but something below 0.5 KB which rounds down. Not really sure.

I guess I added an oldest FAQ list even though it was wrong - the oldest FAQs tend to be undated - but at least it stopped people asking once a month. So perhaps a smallest FAQ list is needed, even if it just lists the eight (I think) "0" KB texts out there. Kinda pointless, but if it saves forum bandwidth, why not?

My Mega Man Xtreme Damage Data guide was less than 1 kb (and less than a page long) before I converted it into an image file.

Of course now it is 44 kbs, so it isn't small by any means anymore.
