    Default Too many stickies in the frontroom?

    It seems to me that the number of stickies in the frontroom is beginning to get too large. There are currently eight.

    According to my survey of the other forums, this is the largest number of stickies outside of the MTW section, and the Total War Series > Apothecary sections, which have a different dynamic than the other forums (NOTE: I did not check community projects for stickies, because they are run individually by the project leaders). Several other forums have seven stickies.

    So I wanted to find out what others thought about the number of stickies in the frontroom. If you say that there are too many, which ones would you want to see removed? If you say that the stickies should be evaluated, then please provide your evaluations.

    Thanks,

    No. What on Earth do they bother? It's not like they're pushing hot, riveting threads off the main board.

    No, by my Mk I human eyeball estimation, there are 3-5 times more non sticky threads than sticky threads. The ratio is fine.

    There is a better argument that sheer number of stickies, but you can work that one out for yourself.

    I think the number is fine. Just my 2 cents though.

    The number of stikies in frontroom doesn't bother me, in apothecary it does, actually.

    I'm just fine with them, and I like the frontroom stickie threads.

    No, it is fine. I'm with Proteleriat; it doesn't bother anyone else, maybe it's just you...

    It bothered me at first, that they have increased over the last month or so, but i don't mind it now. I can't vote, so if there is a 'no' option, i vote for that.

    I think you have to go out of your way to notice it, just treat them like normal threads anyway. We all have to scroll down to read slightly older threads in every other part of the forum, I don't think it is a problem for the frontroom.

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Nah, but the apothecary needs some pruning....

    The number of stickies that used to be in RTW General Modification, now, that was scary. (Edit: There actually used to be over 20 stickies there, by my count!) The Frontroom seems okay.

    Indeed! There are only 3 non-sticky topics.

    That is a function of your viewing settings, and not a function of the number of stickies. Nonetheless, I agree, the Apothecary needs reorganisation. In fact if you look down, you will see I suggested it about a month ago...
