Actually, I find that the search function is far more efficient than reading through 50 pages of sticky, a length that is common for threads placed at the top of a forum. Sticky threads are inherently inefficient, and you cannot remedy inefficiency with more inefficiency.

I get between 10 and 15 requests for new stickies a week. Everyone wants their pet topic or project put at the top of the forum, which I guess is only human nature. If it were up to some people, this forum would be nothing but stickies. If it were up to me, there would be none. I think that the current 11 (soon to be fewer) are a nice compromise.

In any case, I'll say no more on the matter. I've given my answer four times. This thread could go on for another 10 pages and the answer would still be 'no'. However, I do thank you for taking the time to make suggestions. I may not agree or implement them all, but it is good to know that the membership takes an interest in SubSim and it's future.

EDIT: Off-topic, your signature is cool, but could you reduce it in size, please? SubSim doesn't allow for signatures more than 120 high by 400 wide and less than 100KB. Many thanks.
