Yeah, when they decided to go to wiki stuff (that's still not done) the non-wiki items got moved to a slightly different address - but most of the older FAQs should be in either somewhere in this forum or in the data chest sub-forum.
I personally find the near-nothing you get for trashing crafted stuff to be an insult. If I can craft something for training and get more than a fraction of a point for it, I will. All it costs you, once you have the quest done for the library, is a couple of recalls to empty the bag, and you get hundreds of gold's worth of points for each item donated (1 point costs 15 gold if you buy the points). I've got three hundred thousand unused clean-up points as it is, from doing T-maps and SOS, after spending several hundred thousand more. I've gotten to where most of my training left on a few crafters (that are BOD runners) is solely from crafting to fill BODs. I've trained 5 Tailors and 6 Smiths to 120 mostly from filling BODs (and the only reason 100-110 on one character and 110-120 on another weren't from BODs was that I was testing resource consumption for a FAQ at the time). I've trained 2 Tinkers, a cook, and an alchemist using just BOD filling since those BODs were added.
The only things worth trashing are normal items made out of colored materials, after filling a BOD that required exceptional.
