I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I miss when PC games had flaps on the box, and they'd be full of screenshots and art from the game.
And big fucking tomes for manuals.
Not a physical manual tome, but this Prima Guide for TESIV: Oblivion is something that is enough for me to convert to pdf.
I bought that (and still have it) when I got Oblivion, expecting to need it like I did for Morrowind. Definitely did not need it.
I had it while playing the game all those years ago. I didn't have much access to internet back then, and although I don't remember the specifics, I remember looking up some deadra/Mehrunes Dagon oblivion planes for some stuff. And a few of the annoying quests, like Glarthir's Paranoia quest in Skingrad.
Nevertheless, it was a fine thing to skim through even without needing/wanting to find something specific. The page background, layouts, font and colors all being in sync with tbe game still adds a ton to the immersion of that game.
