Uhhhhh TOO MANY STICKIES!
« on: May 28, 2012, 05:21:00 AM »
Alright sorry to yell and I know I don't post that much but dang I love coming here but this board and I imagine is totally cluttered with stickies at the top.

Anyway to get it cleaned up a little but I mean all the chapter breakdowns for ghost story? Its been a year, and Geek Code and Dictionary threads? They seem to be the same thing eliminate whatever one has less info.  Just those things would eliminate 7 threads that would not be too bad right? Sorry to rant I know its most likely not the best forum to post it on just wanted to say it ill go home for the night now thanks!

I've never heard anyone complain.  Maybe the GS Book Club can be moved, but does it really cause all that much of a problem?

Please excuse my grammar, and speling.

I wouldn't mind if they could find a way to limit the number of book club threads down to 1.

They could just move them into their own subforum.  That'd work nicely.  "'Ghost Story' Bookclub Subforum"

You're right. Most of them are useless/not worthy of being sticky.

This section of the forums is a good place to voice suggestions such as this one.  I know from experience that the admins who make such decisions will see your suggestion there, whereas the spoilers section is as you say, rather crouded, and your idea might get lost here.

While you are there take a look at my suggestion of a particular spoilers child board (Sub forum).  Within that topic is a good explanation (from an admin) of why the admin's are hesitant to open a new DF board.  My suggestion would also result in several of these stickies getting placed elsewhere too.

Oh, and I agree, the bulk of the book club threads have already served their purpose and should be allowed to decay.

No one seems to be posting in them any more.  I'd like to un-sticky them.  Any objections?

"them" is rather unspecific.  Although I think we already have a good plan for the ones that are mentioned by the OP that could be considered "References" that alleviate's the OP's concerns and doesn't involve decay.

By "them" I refer exclusively to the GS Book Club threads.  I suppose I give folks a couple weeks to save what they want, to avoid the dread scythe of the auto-pruner?

Not what I was inadvertently reading there, but if thinking that lets you sleep at night, be my guest.  :o ;D
