Not everyone is computer savy. But, the OP's question has been answered. Let's move on.

I keep seeing people mention it in threads, but don't know what they are talkingabout, can someone give me a link to read up on it please?
Thanks!!!!!
You will also see the term Permafrost which is exactly the same as Frostcheese however some people do not like the term cheese when referring to a popular set of character options so they came up with their own term for it.

I won't be asking anything else, as it seems this part of the forum isn't a good place to ask anything,
Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer, stickied at the top of the CO board, would tend to disagree. When I can't think/remember/find something I usually post there and while I'm waiting for an answer check the newer posts to see if theres anything I can answer. It's a pretty nice system.

Also, don't let the protocol paranoia get you down.
Yeah, why do people have to get so crochety when someone asks a question round here? Even if it in their view a dumb one? These forums are pretty slow, as far as forums go. It's not like all the contentful threads are at risk of being swept away by a flood of silly questions or anything. We should be encouraging people to participate, not scaring them away with snootiness.

When I was in the US Army many years ago a Drill Sergeant told me one thing.
"The only dumb question private, is the one you don't ask"

Because we have a sticky for questions like this and they don't really deserve a thread. Further various other stickies at the top of this forum have a variety of links, many of which lead to threads which are a literal glossary of terms like this. When someone comes into a forum and does not check the stickies they are displaying poor forum etiquette (and that just applies in general to all forums).
People who are aware of the sticky post questions there. People who are not aware of the sticky didn't notice it. Now I am going to make a broad generalization: People who have a simple question and didn't post in a thread at the top of the forum that says it answers simple questions didn't look very hard at the forum. One might, reasonably, extend this to the conclusion that they also did not look very hard for an answer. People in general are more willing to be helpful when they feel some effort has been invested prior to asking other people for help, because no matter how politely this is done there is an inherent rudeness at work; you are claiming that your time not looking (again, sticky, you could at least ask the question in the right place) is worth more then the time of whoever might answer your question.
Most people do not put it in those terms, but that is the principal of etiquette at work.

Ah yes generalizations abound don't they? Actually rudeness is what I have 'perceived' from some others in this thread, I asked a simple question to which I was unable to find my answer. The perception I am getting is that people have a problem with the wrong thread, my bad, can we just drop it and go on ffs?
I am no longer asking any questions on any of these forums, as the attitudes aren't worth my time.
You can say I have one, and I agree, this thread gave me one.
And I know I remember why in 9 years I rarely post anything on the forums.

Well, you've done it again Char-oppers. Your bureaucratic-style coldness has shunned away another newbie.

Bureaucratic-style coldness? Only one person posting here may have come off as brash in my eyes - the rest of us told him the information existed elsewhere in a readily available space (the stickies). Telling him this should not discourage him from posting here.
The thing abuot Frostcheese is that it's a strategy that's existed pretty much ever since PHB1 came out. The boards have had 3 years or so since to divulge that information across so many of the class handbooks, the stickied threads, the CharOp guide... while the guy wasn't wrong to ask about it, the search function *is* shoddy, and will require more effort on the inquirer's part to find his information. Only when he's confident his informatino cannot be found elsewhere should he have come here to ask about it.
