For the FAQ (http://www.offspring.com/forums/showpost.php?p=699558&postcount=2), read the post below this one.
Here's a new updated thread about the General Offspring Discussion (GOD) forum guidelines (http://www.offspring.com/forums/showpost.php?p=670643&postcount=1):

What we do
We delete/close/move inappropriate threads or posts. Some simple things you should know when you create a thread:
- It should be Offspring related.
- Don't talk about the private lifes of the band.
- Don't talk about (too) private information about other boardmembers.
- Search (http://www.offspring.com/forums/search.php) to be sure a thread hasn't been done before.
- Don't post anything pornographic/racist/offensive/etc.
- Trolling/spamming will not be tolerated [read (http://www.offspring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17988)].
We don't want to be strict, so some of our decisions might confront these guidelines. If you don't agee with the decision, contact either one of us.

You post and have fun.
If you want to report a post/thread use the report button (http://www.offspring.com/forums/images/buttons/report.gif) to warn us about it. We'll check it out.

Note on why I made this new thread:
The old thread was very long and I don't think a lot of people actually read the whole thing. And I got a few request to sticky several threads to draw more attention to them. So instead of stickying all of them, I put them in here.

FAQ

Why did Ron Welty leave the band?
Ron left to pursue another project —Steady Ground— after a breakdown in his relationship with his bandmates. You can listen to Steady Ground songs on their MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/steadyground). He wasn't fired or forced out at all. Everything else you read about this are rumors and are very possibly not true.

Did Atom really leave the band?
According to Dexter's last journal, they're currenlty recording songs. So no, Atom did not leave the Offspring.

What's Angels and Airwaves (AVA)?
Angels and Airwaves is a new band formed by former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge, and Atom has been confirmed as their drummer. No word yet on whether or not Atom will tour with them.

Who is that strange guy that runs around onstage?
Chris Higgins (X-13).

What is 'Gone Away' about?
No one knows. Everything you read about this are rumors and are very possibly not true.

Did AFI cover Offspring?
Actually, the Offspring covered AFI's 'Totalimmortal' for the soundtrack to the Jim Carrey movie 'Me, Myself & Irene'.

What is 'Idle Hands'?
The Offspring make an appearance in the movie 'Idle Hands' as The Band, before the Band Lead Singer (Dexter) is killed.

What is this 'Next to You' song? Where can I find it?
It's a hidden track on the 'Greatest Hits' CD. If you have the CD, let the last track on the CD - '(Can't Get My) Head Around You' or 'The Kids Aren't Alright (The Wisequys Remix)' finish but don't stop the song. At some point further into the track, you'll hear 'Next to You'. If you have the DualDisc and are watching the DVD side, go to the songlist and scroll down to (CGM)HAY, then hit LEFT ARROW to highlight the skull logo and hit ENTER.

What is 'Mission from God'?
This was a song initially recorded for Ignition that didn't make it onto the album. You can find it on Punk-O-Rama 10.

Why Did they Leave Epitaph?
Dexter wrote a letter about it to his fans a few years ago. You can read it here (http://www.crashrock.nl/stuff/offspring/other/epitaph.html).
