Sticky GD Threads

Rovastar · 18th June 2002, 11:54

........

I think the way things are going number 4 will win.

Will I be right.

Xerxes · 18th June 2002, 12:06

Believe me there's nothing i'd like more than to unstick them all right now...

apollos · 18th June 2002, 12:44

Yeah. I think we have to many.

There should be one sticky thread informing n00b's of many FAQ and possibly some major Winamp news. Why should a mod make a sticky thread for their own benefit when other people's slowly move down the pages?

I think the sticky think is overused. If I recall correctly, there was actually a discussion about this a while back, but it might have just been about a single one that stayed sticky overly-long.

Vie · 18th June 2002, 13:14

I hate em

Rocker · 18th June 2002, 13:31

if I unstuck anything in the GD matt would chop my fingers off

oh well

though i think that the forum directory could be put into the announcement

and the shoutcast stuff could be unstuck...since their is no need anymore

members know now

Surely the other 3 are even less needed.

and I do appricate ethan_h's sticky thread to do good things.

eleet-2k2 · 18th June 2002, 14:07

Only make important threads sticky. None of these other ones.

Bilbo Baggins · 18th June 2002, 14:17

I quite like the links one being up there, as i think that that is one of the best threads that we have seen here.

Sandman2012 · 18th June 2002, 14:22

I like Winamprockers idea, add the forum directory to the "How to find then answer" (temporarily know as "Moderators and Whatnot") thread. That would reduce the sickiness of GD. The other threads can probably go by now too.

would anybody mind if my tournament thread stays a few more days? Even if it is only 2/3, it's just i am on an odd number (26 + 1PM)...

rm' · 18th June 2002, 17:00

There are too many. I think rather then make a thread sticky, we should put it in the READ ME FIRST announcement. From time to time, though, it's necessary for the mods to create a two-way dialogue. With that in mind, ethan's hospice thread was perfectly sensible to make sticky. That said, when such a thread has outlived it's purpose, and veered off track, it should be unstuck. Something like the Shoutcast streaming info should be an announcement, because it does not need any feedback from us peons. For things such as photoshop contests and tournament announcements, if enough people are interested, it will become "naturally sticky". No divine intervention required.

'twas my thought as well. If it is stickied and locked, it's quite possible that it would exist better as an announcement.

c2R · 19th June 2002, 16:56

I like the forums directory one...

But I can't see the problem with the number that there are. They come and go, but are all good.

How come a lot people say that you are afraid of Matt in #*******??

And damn I hate those useless Sticky's.

No, keep the forum dir! It's the greatest (and in fact the only easy way of finding the phish food).

Rovastar · 21st June 2002, 16:49

Ok I have removed some of the stickies. I thought they would be there forever. Hopefully it makes it look a little more tidier now.

I'm not scared of Matt.

.........or am I?...
