While I am sure that we are all appreciative of the work you are doing, Snarr, I couldn't help but think that maybe a little input from the forum members would go a long way.

I noticed that the TAO IRC Chat (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8223) thread has been unstickied, while the totally and utterly pointless Commonly Asked Questions of DR (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7907) has been left to bask in all the glory of stickyness. The TAO Phone Book (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5679), which was pretty much only about the General Discussion (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=4) forum, has been banished to the hell that is the Newbie Board (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=5).

As Snarr said, the Revelation Grand League (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8261) will eventually be stickied, which is a good idea.

At the time, I can't see any more of the filth in General Discussion (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=4) that would warrant a sticky. However, the threads I mentioned serve the exact purpose that a sticky is supposed to have.

If anyone else has suggestions/ideas for stickies in General Discussion (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=4), or any other board, let them post it here, and maybe Snarr will take those suggestions to heart in his spring (summer?) cleaning of the forums.

Hey! Don't misquote me! And besides it's spelled displace not "displacec". ;) ;)

Anyway now on to suggestions.

Hey sticky this thread! Random stickyness! Mwa ha ha ha... If it was up to me I would say sticky the TWS but... that's why I'm not a mod. ;)

None of those types of threads (TWS, RD, etc) should be stickied. A sticky should be informative and something that a new member will see when they first come to the board.

My suggestions for stickies:

Banners Banner Banners! (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5793)
TAO IRC Chat (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8223)
Revelation Grand League (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8261)
TAO Phone Book (http://tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5679)

You could unsticky all the tourn threads in Rev.

I want to see this thread stickied. That way we could always have a stickied post in which to put our requests for stickied posts into.

That brings me to my next problem. If a n00b posted in a deserted forum, and there was noone around to flame him, would this post still be stupid?

Well, I don't think that the TAO IRC thread will get very far... I can't get it to work :(

Yeah, I think the Commonly Asked Questions of DR thread is rather dumb, pointless, and not worth a thing (meaning it should be unstickied).

Just because YOU can't get it to work doesn't mean that the rest of us should not be able to try!!

Yes, but there's what? Five people that are actually doing it? I'd be great if more people got it, but... they aren't.

Well, glam got it to work for her, I'll have to make her show me how she did it...

I just got it working, but no one seems to be here.

See, Elentari, if people saw the sticky thread, more people would be willing to try it and make it work!!
