One of the things that bother me at the moment, is all the stickies. Not that they suck, but there are so many in some forums that they take up all the screen. So i came up with an idea: Why not put all the stickies in one forum?

There are three main reasons i want this:

1) To get rid of all the stickies that take up all the space

2) It can prevent constant "thread repeating", since people now will go to this forum for "cool" threads. When you put one thread called "Halo> Halo 2?" down there, people will see it right away, wich will prevent them from making a similar topic.

3) it will make things a bit more organised.

i'm not sure if all of this is possible, but i really like it, and not just beacause i came up with it. Praise or burn it as you please.

It's more useful to see a sticky related to the board it's in.

Not too sure about that. it's usefull, but also a pain in the arse. maybe i'm nagging. but i rather have them all in one, it just saves up all the space. plus i like to have all interesting topics together to quickly jump from one to the other.

I dunno, it sounds like a good idea to me. People would see a new forum and go look at it.

I think goweb is right, it is better to see the sticky in the forum that it's about.

A better solution to your issue is to simply condense stickies of similar topics.

I don't think organisation is a major issue. It doesn't seem likely to get rid of the spammers. There's still plenty of space with the stickies, at least IMO.

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

It's doubtful that would stop members from repeating threads though. Even when a topic is stickied someone comes along and makes a thread about the same subject. If a sticky doesn't grab their attention, nothing will.

For example:
Sticky: Introduce yourself!! (in this thread)

Several threads down a new thread appears

Hi...I'm new

I like the idea. Maybe each forum can have 1 sticky link that goes to the sticky forum. Mods can change the link title.

If there was a sticky forum, it'd just be another forum for all of the forums. I see no point in adding another forum for the forums. Just one more thing to slow down this site.

Stickies are meant to help people find a popular/good thread in a forum. The sticky is put in a certain forum because it deals with that forum. That way, people can stay on topic most of the time.

I've always thought that having all the stickies in some kind of drop down list would be much better, easily accessible, but they take up much less space than they do at the moment...

Well there is only one forum in a group. and with all the activity that everyone was complaining about becomming spam. Well that is now gone and activity is down so there is no need for another forum in a group.
