Another problem I have found: Even though I don't like and I don't post in them as often as normal, I know others do. This brings these threads up to the top...and puts all other normal threads nearer the bottom where people don't read as much. I know that this might be a stretch, but it seems like people are more inclined to respond to the threads closer to the top. When these threads are continuosly being posted in, it knocks other threads down, giving people the need to bump their own threads up to counter these "Mod-Recommended" threads.
And, on a lighter note, does this phrase
The second (but not any less positive) thread of forum regulars "being excellent" to each other
Have anything to do with Bill and Ted's excellent adventure?
the thing about that is if all those threads were stickeid there would be just as much room as if they were all bumbed. But even if only a couple were bumbed there would still be more room for other posts then if there were sticked.
I think I was a little redundent on that?
I think you missed my point. I meant that people usually just read the top few threads and than forget about the rest. When these threads were stickied, people knew they were different and read them, but they also knew that these threads weren't going anywhere so they were willing to respond more to threads below.
