Amount of sticky posts :(

[Tam]

Guys, Its annoyed me for a while now, but I've not mentioned it before so here we go ....

Sticky posts! How many seriously do we need ? I go to some forum pages and there's a page and a half scroll down before I can see any posts, so .... I just thought I'd post them below, let the mods decide if any can go, and therefore have space for new "important" ones or just clear up the forum

I've complied a list below, hopefully you'll agree with me on some if not all of them

(And before anyone asks - Yes i am that anal! - Yes it took me bloody hours!)

**By saying delete / time to go - i mean un-stickied rather than deleted! **


SEATCupra.net Main Site Articles

• Do we need the SEAT Design Director interview - ?? Its 2 years old now and surely not worth a sticky place any more.

Comments, Suggestions and Announcements (let the arguments commence )

• newbies - This can go (or be moved to the "for sale section")
• History of SCN - Can be found under "about this site" - its good, but worth being stickied still ???
• SEATCupra.net Web Links - Not sure its needed, could be added to a contact us / how to advertise section on main site.
• PM on edit / delete - It may have been needed as a sticky when it was a new feature, but is it still needed?
• Inciting violence! - Add to the rules and delete (you can always bring back if it kicks off)
• SEAT UK Website - New Car configurator. - Its a year old, its not needed any more i'm sure
• *IMPORTANT* A decline in forum conduct that needs addressing! (1) & *IMPORTANT* A decline in forum conduct that needs addressing! (2) - 2 threads on the same topic, both stickied? I can see why they are there, but I'd suggest ditching them now, and if the issue re-crops up, then lets start a new one

Altea

So there you go, that's my little list compiled. - Sorry to the mods, i know it will take you some time to check out each one and decide what you want to do, but hopefully it'll be worth it, I'm sure it was something you were planning to do at some point anyway.

Once they have been amended, removed etc.etc. perhaps everyone could do a quick review in case I've missed any.

[mrcoyote]

Ok. I've unstuck a fair few of them, but the others I've left until we get some clarification on whether they're still valid/required.

Maybe I should change the server time next...

 

[ZBOYD]

me me me me me! Tam get a room, that post is almost bordering on compulsive disorder

If we have to explain something because we've removed a sticky. Then I've decided to send them to you. You can have all my inane emails too. As your bored enough to list all our mistakes.

Admittedly some are a bit late in being unstuck, but sadly I have a life outside this place.

How about next time you want to sit and point out our shortcomings, you'll just send me a PM, save yourself the embarrassment of looking a bit obsessed.

sweet Jaysus, Im glad I went out last evening

you try and be helpful when you get a spare few mins and you get kicked in the teeth ..

(was going to re-write some of the FAQ's and other stickies ... but I'll give it a miss I suppose )

 

[ZBOYD]

I've actually just spent an hour of my time, looking through your suggestions and many of them I've sorted. Maybe next time I'll just ignore you completely then.

You rib us enough Tam, sometimes you have to accept i'll give it you back. Have a Horlicks and chill.

 

[Brummy]

.... a spare few mins........

 

[UncleFester]

I was thinking of spending that much time sorting some sh1t out last night .. oh hang on, i did .... a full cess pitt & a 30 ft long pipe of it. I suppose given the subject matter it was as close to being anal as I get ..... i'll get me coat

 

[m0rk]

it's still appreciated, since I rarely have the time to check on this (periodically I try, but get bored quickly)

 

[UncleFester]

Can't you just set a TTL on a sticky unless you expressly set it as permanent?

 

[m0rk]

not on this version, but the new build of vb might do (but we'll have to wait and see)
