Forums → Support Forum → Too many stickies?
| 26 | 4013 |
I love how people are suddenly coming together to create new ideas and express all the rules much more clearly, but now it seems like most of the forum sections are way to crowded with stickied topics.
I think many of these stickies could be combined, and in doing so we would save space and everything would be easier to find. This would probally mean recreating a lot of people's works, but this is also an opertunity to get rid of multiple things mentioned in 2 different stickies, add more, and delete what is not needed.
These are my opinions of stickies that should be combined, I will also post ones that should not be combined with anything just to show how much mor space we would save in the forums.

Note: Dan could also make a new link to his own page on teh site that discuss many of the above, so instead of having all the rules right there in the forum. There could be a list of the main rules there, and the rest fo them somewere else on the site. All you would have to do is make a link from the forum to the rest of the rules. The same could be said with the "How to act towards a mod" and anything else relating to AG behavior.

>Share your intrument! (Don't exactly know why its here but oh well... it is)
The ">"s that are bordering each other are topics I beleive that should be combined. ">" that are isolated are good as they are.

How would they go off topic if they will be squished together according to what subject they are on?
He's not saying throw all of the stickies together, just put things like the Merit Guide, Armourgames Guide, and other things togehter in groups.
It would make sense, well to me, since if I were looking for information, I would only have to look at one post, instead of browsing through three helpful guides =o
Yeah, I do see your point, especially if you have a slow computer like mine or a slow internet connection which is like mine yet again...
Yes, they are similar, but not exactly the same. For example, the topics about getting merits and upsetting the mods is different enough from the topic about who the mods are to be a different topic.
Well in books, the topic never stays the same. If they were to combime topics and the subject changed a little, were it is simular but not the same... they would do what they do in books, make a new paragraph.

NoNameC68, online forums pages are not books. They need to stay on topic to be relevent. If they were like books, topics would ramble on and on about something that the topic was not intended for.
True, they are not books, but you can list the list of mods, then list why you dont ask to be a mod, and talk about what to do if you encounter problems and how to report them too a mod. 3 paragraphs, one topic.
Yea that would be nice because there are barely anymore posts on the first page.
I agree that there are too many stickies, hopefully we will be able to condense these together. There has been a sudden influx of people writing 'guides' to AG, and some are very helpful.
Well I personally think Dan should make a rules section under his about. Then explaining all the rules would be as easy as making a link to them. Also there could be more than just rules too. Like the thread about how to treat a mod and other users, in my opinion it does not deserve to be a sticky in its own self. There just is not enough in there, but what it is about is something that would be great if explained right after all the rules.
These are just my ideas though. I am sure whatever happens will work out. The only problem with re-writing everything would be the aurthors of some of that stuff might be upset if they are not warned that their stuff may be re-written. In fact, I am sure most of them would be comfortable rewriting their own stuff. Giving credit to the other people who had someone else re-write their original stuff.
IIII Have an idea
Create one sticky with links to all of these stickys
unsticky all the rest and let them fall
