About putting the FAQs on separate pages: It would certainly lend more authoroty to the content if they were no longer just stickied threads. On the other hand, direct maintainer editability is so great a boon that it should not be foregone. GHDpro might not be too amused by having to change the same FAQ five times in one day, since the author keeps correcting various newly discovered faults in it.

Another bonus with having them in the forum context is not so obvious...They might actually be easier to refer to and search for with the forum search engine. Also, telling someone to look at the first thread in the forum might produce a larger "D'oh"-effect than a tip to look for some FAQ backwater of the main site.

In conclusion: It is certainly not a bad idea, but unless maintainer editability cannot be easily managed, I would guess that the right way would be to keep it as it currently is.
