Too many stickies in this forum

Post by Patchman »

Do all the sticky topics really have to be sticky? If I have to scroll down 1 1/2 pages just to see the first regular topic, something is wrong IMHO.

I'd suggest unstickying the following topics:
Finished graphics (Archived Posts): nothing new since August
GRDTOGRF: put a link to the topic in the "useful graphics tools" instead
Adding new vehicle graphics: same
WIN-DOS conversion: same

Basically, if a topic isn't useful for most visitors, I don't think it should be sticky. Maybe instead of so many stickies, it would be good to change the "useful tools" topic into something like "Tools, Sites and Info for Graphics Authors". Then most of the now-sticky topics could be made unsticky and instead referenced there.

I almost posted that earlier but since I 'added' one sticky myself I thought it a bit arrogant :) . But I agree too and Patchman's suggestions seem useful.

I agree also, for what it's worth.

I agree to all of them, but the download topic for finished graphics should stay there, it should only be updated more often.

That was my error while editing the post, by the way the "useful graphics tools" topic has already a link ;)
