I'm certifiable.

Well, now that we're out comparing our, er, stickies... I guess I've had one. But I didn't write it (it was about something I wrote), and it only stayed sticky for a couple of days before the mods took it back down, and I was a bit relieved when they did.

However the thread still bobbed up around the top anyway, for three glorious weeks. :) Thanks again, guys. It was awesome.

The common elements to sticky threads are:

* Timely: they're all about something that's going on right now, or is of ongoing interest.

* Well-written: as Rip points out they're all well put together, including grammar and spelling. Don't forget paragraphing and white-space. They're easy to read as a result. (The preview button is your friend on this... I just caught a mistake with it right now.)

* Useful: they're all about how to get more use out of something, whether it's a game or a convention or just speculation. They're not just announcements, at least most of the time.

* Interesting: they're about something that a broad selection of fans will find interesting.

* Enduring: they're about stuff that will stick around for a while... something won't get stickied if it's just for a day.

* On-topic: probably the biggest one... an essay on your cat's urinary tract infection isn't going to get stickied. (At least, not here. Ew.) However, ways to improve the forum are likely to get stickied here; ways to get added value out of Marathon are likely to get stickied in the Underground; new ways to Warthog jump are likely to get stickied in the Library; etc.

-- Steve's gonna end the list here, as these are the biggies, but there are probably other factors involved. (Digs into wallet) How much this time, Maka?

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


I've asked for two of mine to be unstickeyed -- I simply wanted other good threads to get the spot -- I still have one that's stickeyed - but it only got stickeyed a couple days ago - and the first one I had stickeyed got dropped of it's own accord... But - DO NOT ASK them to stickey it -- they almost CERTAINLY will not...

Anton got the magic formula posted - so I'll leave it to that...

Yeah...maybe it's just me...but uhhhh. You two seem to be related. Maybe switched at birth?


He doesn't eat breakfast in the morning just like me, and we agree on everything (exept AVP).

It's a sign!


Maybe we're long-lost twins...

I guess that would mean I'm the evil one, hmmmm?

since you 'both agree on everything'... wouldn't that make you both evil?

I've asked them, just not in the message itself. Ask in a PM if you must...

I find it sad your main goal in life right now is to get a sticky which will be taken down within the week. You want a stickied thread? We are hosting the Bungie Weekly Update this week.

Go on the forums and make a thread in the bar, something good, I'll sticky it.
You'll be "popular",

Yes of course -- I meant publicly bothering them in the topic titles, and throughout the thread -- I think that doing so irritates them more than anything... In a PM they can say no without making all the people in the thread go off....
