… the original thread on making a single sticky topic instead of sticky-ing many topics is below. ….

I was going to ask Doug but I suppose I might as simply ask all peeps on the forum.
Back in the summer I went thru a bunch of forum topics that I thought were really good and common, and made them sticky topics, so they are at the top of the list. This seems cool except the way they are listed on each forum, there’s so many sticky topics, that the newest posts are bumped way down the list of each forum. So while the stickies are prominent, the new posts are not.

Has anyone noticed this as a plus or a minus?

To me it seems like a minus overall. There’s different ways to deal with it, needs a bit of busy work.

And on the Seventh Day, Mustaine said: ∇ ⨯ E = - ∂B / ∂t ; and there was Thrash; and it had a ♭3; and it was good.

It’s a little like mixing a song, you can’t make everything loud.  I think that we have so many “important” stickies that it reduces the value of each.  Maybe it’s time to thin the heard.

You make some very good points in your post. You should probably make this topic sticky.

Stickying a discussion of stickies.. too meta for metalheads.

lol, is funny when I read this

i realized my eyes just glaze over; adn i just think of the stickies as a bunch of rule stuff i hopefully already read at the outset; and now ignore

 

that said… i think i’ll be more inclined to pay attention to the stickies

The information within those stickies could be edited and gleaned.  Maybe once edited, added to a FAQ page instead or Links page.  I have not clicked on even one of them since their inception.  The search engine used to find older stuff in the forum could use improvement or a change.  The BB forum software is what it is.  Too much blank space between posts, edit time limit short, etc.  It serves its purpose to populate the Metal Method website with daily fresh material so that goal is met.  Even Vbulletin isnt that great, price isnt free like BB and suffers from similar issues.  I always have liked FAQ sections on forums for research and reference as opposed to these last 10 years of blogs and their search functions.  But WordPress CMS has taken over much of the web so the entire corporate world looks like your local mini mall with same familar stores and locations like a grocery store.  I miss the early days of html pages that loaded faster and were unique unlike the one size fits all thing going on now.  Metal Method itself does not look like the rest of the pack, which is nice and hope it remains different.

Having everything sticky is very 80s rock n roll. “Eww, why is this floor.. sticky”

I’ll clean up the stickies in a week or so.

Hey SB, if you have time, how about doing an update to this and making it super sticky?  It could be treated as the Forum’s FAQ
