Ok I'll admit a lot of [color=green]threads[/color] I posted up I tried to see if they can become a [color=orange]sticky[/color] and well have no such luck. And I am sure I'm not alone on this. So here comes the big question.
[color=orange]How do you get a STICKY?[/color] I am sure that it's the Mods choice on what [color=green]threads[/color] gets a [color=orange]sticky[/color] and who dosn't. So what would be the criteria that they look at when reviewing [color=green]threads[/color]? Anyone that has posted a [color=green]thread[/color] that became a [color=orange]sticky[/color] tell us what you have done. Also thoes who tried to post a [color=orange]sticky[/color] [color=green]thread[/color] tell us what you tried in your [color=green]threads[/color].

It's not like some sort of medal you get to wear around, it's just a tool to help keep great threads or helpful threads active, and besides, the mods need to keep the stickies down to a minimum, it would be fair to other posters if the whole first page was stickies.

Also if your thread is useful to many -- it's more likely to be stickeyed. I've had like 3 stickeyed, and I've asked for 2 to be taken down, (Although I wish I hadn't taken down the Seventh Column Revitalization,,}

Those who seek a Sticky shall never find it. The Sticky is as slippery as a bar of soap in the bath... the harder you grasp after it, the faster it squirts out from the hand.

The Sticky is not a destination. It is a state.

Do not seek a Sticky, grasshopper. Seek instead to perfect your posts, to craft them with care and thought and dilligence, and you may find that you have attained a Sticky without even trying.

Marinealver... a start might be to not make it obvious you want a stickied post, second is to post something WORTH stickying (ie not this) and third is not to colour 1 in 5 words... it's irritating.

Well good luck anyway...

I think a start to getting a post sticked is to stop posting MC vs.... threads. Or 'What is the coolest way you dided threads' or...... the list is endless.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

I've got a sticky in the flood. Reiginko told me to message him with a link to the thread when I made it and he'd sticky it. I did but I saw yoozel on so too so once the topic was falling off the face of the earth, I asked yoozel too.

So just wait for a mod to ask you to make a thread in which he'll stickify!

Or make one of those "good" threads that "helps" people. Either way.

You can also ask mods to unsticky them. Which is good. I guess.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Here's a tip: Make a useful guide... Good guides get stickied a lot.

Hmmm... that gives me an idea...

It wasn't him you had to worry about! Mwa ha haaaa!!!

I've had 3 stickied threads. Well, really 2 I guess. I made a nice post during E3 helping people to find the information they were looking for, mainly movies. I didn't ask for it to be sticked, but I did point out to a mod how helpful it was.

My second stickied post was this one, the original How to play Marathon post. After a while, I realized that not enough people were seeing this thread, so I rewrote it to be better and made a news story to go along with it.

Reading all 3 of these posts, you can tell they have much in common.
They are well-written. I put thought into them, updated them, and made sure they had the good grammar and spelling.
They are helpful. I was telling people wher to find the stuff they needed/would want.
They are still helpful. Even after being un-stickied, people still asked me weeks later where those posts went, because they still needed them.

If you can make a good post that is really helpful and stays helpful for a long time, it will get stickied.
