I appreciate what you mods do. You take a bunch of shit from us with nothing to show for it. While Wayne may have gone over the top, I agree with his sentiment. What did that thread being stickied hurt? This board has shown that it has absolutely no problem stickying a lot of threads. Does it really take away from the playoffs to *gasp* have a non-hockey thread stickied?

Look, I don't want to make a big deal about this, because it really isn't a big deal. It just seemed like a bunch of people wanted to do that, and a mod stickied it. Then two people complained, and another mod took it down. It's a little frustrating.

as I'm the one who asked for it to be unstucked, guess i should give an opinion.


a ton of sticky thread simply makes a board awful. not only you need to scroll down a half page to get to anything new, but it means that there are that amount of fewer threads that are able to stay on the first page. and that sucks. as we all know, page 2 is basically the dead zone.

in the playoffs, we have traditionally had the active series threads stickied. fair enough. and unstick them when the series is over, to make room for the next round. also fair enough.
so that means there are more stickies at this time of the year than usual.
and to add some "guess baseball attendance of random games" to the mess at the top? ca'maaan.


and it is also very true that the series threads technically don't need to be stickied, as they'd stay at the top by themselves, and fade naturally when they are over. them being stickied seems more of a symbolic gesture, which is fine.

That's fine. Like I said, it's really not a big deal. I just found it odd that the page that is known for a million stickies drew the line where it did.

Dear Mods, sorry to disturb you but...
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the posters that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about Mods
I can't believe in you


By the way, I fall on the side of wanting very few stickied threads.

You're welcome and/or sorry. All it took was the thread title to get the song stuck in my head.

What is this page 2 you speak of?

This used to be one of my favorite songs...now, as the subject of me being of questionable belief...not so much. :(

This probably explains why no one bit on my rep vote request. ;)

And furthermore, page 3 is the :eyebrows: zone.
