A much awaited move Allwyn thankoo

Here's some of the threads I could locate. Unfortunately some of them hover around similar topics and due to these multiple threads, none of them have considerable amount of info leading them to be dormant for a long time.

These may be locked (Mods can decide) or clubbed with existing threads others can be shifted to English Resources.
