As I look through the different forums, I've found that there is a high percentage of Stickies. In most forums, there's a good five or six stickies. Even for me, on a 1680x1050 display, that takes up a lot of space on my screen. Now, as usual, I'm not here to just piss and moan about something, I'm here to change it or make a point. In this case, change it. Let's take a quick look at the different forums and their Stickies.
The Underground
Where to download Oldskool Bungie Games.
The Marathon Trilogy - Get It!
Old School Stickies
THIS IS NOT A HALO BOARD
Forum FAQ and Rules - Please Read
Okay, we could easily combine Oldskool games and the Marathon Trilogy into one thread. They fall under the same category. The threads of interest can stay, and possibly comine THIS IS NOT A HALO BOARD and the rules. Although in that case, we may find ourselves with more "ZOMG I LOVE HALO!!111!1!" threads.
So, how's our score here?
5-4/3. Not bad.
The Septagon
A solution to "Which moderator should I pm?"
Introduce Yourself!! (in this thread)
Fresh Bnet Feedback Thread
The long awaited, Issue 3 of The Bathroom Reader
Septagon Stickies (useful info and whatnot - read this)
Chapter Founders - Need group help?
The first one is new and definately stays, 'nuff said. As for Introduce Yourself!, we've already got a thread like that in The Flood, so we can de-stickify that. As for Fresh Bnet Feedback, it's a great idea, we need to keep it. The Bathroom Reader should stay temporarily, it shouldn't be a permanent thing. The threads of interest always have to stay. Chapter Founders should either stay here, or be moved to The Classifieds.
What about this one?
6-5/4/3. Eh, this forum is hard to slim down.
Halo 3 Forum
A Guide to Servers, Networking and Host. (v1.3)
About HALO WARS and other non-Halo 3 topics.. *read*
*** ~ Threads of Interest! ~ ***
ʘ Welcome to the Halo 3 forum! ʘ Forum Guidelines and FAQ ʘ
A warning about leaks or even potential leaks. *READ*
*NOTICE* - Read STICKIES before making new topics.
On this one, Servers, Networking and Host (oh my!) should stay, to try and keep down whining, or be converted into one rule thread, along with others. Halo Wars, Forum Guidelines, Leaks, and Read STICKIES could all be converted into one single thread. The Threads of interest of course stay.
This one?
6-3/2. Pretty damn good!
New Mombasa
New Mombasa Threads of Interest
Welcome to New Mombasa! (READ HERE BEFORE POSTING)
New Mombasa is fine, no changed to be made. Thanks, Recon.
Optimatch
Read Me First!!!
Hot Topics (subjects with dedicated threads)
Optimatch is fine as well.
The Maw
Halo Custom Edition the free download that makes Halo SOOOOOOOO much better

Threads of Interest
I don't think there's much need for change here.
The Library
How to...play Halo online
Hikaru-119's Halo 1 sniping guide, w00t pinned for 2 years!
7 Years of Halo!!!! 2 Years since its posting!!!
Worst. Gametype. Ever.
Welcome to the Library!
Halo Online can stay. I think the Sniping Guide can go now, it's not that Sticky-worthy anymore. 7 years can stay, Worst Gametype may need to go, but it could stay if it should. And of course the Welcome should stay.
Wow, it's been a while since we've changed anything.
5-4/3. Pretty good.
The Gallery
The Winners' Circle
I think this is kind of self-explanitory.
1-1. Holy crap, how do we do it?!
Voting Booth
Look Sensitivity
Look Inversion
Ranked or Unranked?
Most Satisfying Kill
Do we really even need stickies here? I don't think we do. Kind of unnecessary.
4-0. To quote Comic Book Guy (and SketchFactor), Biggest. Change. EVER.
The Classified
Clan Directory.
looking for local gamers? post here!!!
Group Directory.
Accepting ads for the Bathroom Reader Newsletter
Recommendation: Make your posts like, "Extra, extra, read all about...
NOTICE: "New" policy in The Classifieds
Cannon's guide to making your own clan
Need Help?
Classifieds Rules, READ THESE. (updated)
Wow. There's a lot here. As there should be, but that doesn't mean it could lose weight. Group and Clan Directories can merge together. Local Gamers can stay, Bathroom Reader ads, Reccomendation can stay, the "New" Policy and the Rules should merge, and possibly we could merge the Clan-Making Guide and Need Help?.
How we doin'?
9-7/6. Pretty good.
The Flood
I don't think we need any changes here.
Well, that kind of sums things up for this. Less Stickies would be a good thing to implement, or in this case, de-implement. I need to stop de-ifying things. Why do I feel like I'm tilted backwards? I have no clue, I'm rambling. Anyway, mind the aimless ramblings, I'm tired.
