The idea is good, but Steve has a point there. Such threads easily become a problem because people see mods in the lists from others and start asking what they are and where they can be found; this in turn starts cluttering the thread with links, dead links, copy and paste of readmes, etc, and as a result, the mod list of everyone is not post after post, but frequently spaced by several pages. In that regard, it is very different from a "sticky" thread maintained by one person, where you can find in the mantained 1st post the relevant information and updated links.

This system instead causes new users to become discouraged by having to browse through hundreds of pages to find the next list of mods, and then they still need to find answers about where to find many of them, with people sometimes giving answers to questions posed dozens of pages ago, etc.
