You know how you see all of these locked stickies at the top of every forum. They take up room, so here's a simple suggestion: why don't we just combine all of the stickies on each forum into one? It'll save space, and everything will still be clean and organized, and everyone will still get the message. You could title the thread something like : "Important: Updates and rules for (insert forum name here)" It would be something that we could utilize RIGHT NOW, and is very doable.. Comments, suggestions welcome.

Edit: The locked stickies, not the open ones. They can be combined without problem, and you only have to visit one thread to get all necessary information. They're locked, so there is no need to address specific topics when you post because, well, they're locked anyway!

Just the locked stickies, not the ones you can still post in.. I like the style now better than the indexed style Recon used anyway, but for the locked ones this would probably work better and save space.

One prob. N--, I mean new members of bnet. They need those stickies to find out the rules. It's bad enough already, imagine if they had no idea what the rules are.....

If they read one, the others are right there.

No no no, don't get rid of them, just combine them. We still have the rules, and you can still read about updated information.

Gosh darn spam filter, didn't read that. But I think it would work with the other forums too, like Zanzibar (which seems beyond help anyway, unfortunately) or the Underground.

I'll be on my own side.

For example, the Optimatch forum. One could make sticky called "Optimatch Policy" or something similar, and have it cover the "No MLG discussion" and the "Playlist discussion only" policies. The drawbacks to this would be that the message conveyed by the topic title is no longer on the main page. The sticky that says "PLAYLIST DISCUSSION ONLY" makes it obvious that it's not allowed, and people don't have to actually open the topic to see, as I doubt a lot of people open those. If it were removed, new users will not see it, and post complaints about there not being a Halo 1 pistol and that Backwash sucks. It goes both ways, but it seems more unnecessary than useful.
