Nobody makes them jump through hoops. They wouldn't think to read that thread first anyway.
I put it up here at Subsim Downloads some time ago. Razark posted a link, as do I every time the question is asked.

The most obvious thread for a new forum member to find information is the "SH4 Popular Mods, Tools..... etc." (the very "sticky" you're referring to) needs to be corrected. Why make new players jump through hoops trying to find information and solid links?? Especially sticky links posted by the head man himself?

1) Why should JSGME be listed in the SH4 Popular Mods thread? It's GENERIC, which means it's for all games, and it is in the Subsim downloads section, under Utilities, which is where it should be. That there is a thread at all should probably be something to be grateful for, but you want to keep complaining about it. Maybe we should just take it down, if you hate it so much.
2) Neal was kind enough to put up that thread at all. It's not his job to go back through it every month and update everything. Doing that for every Mods forum would be a full-time job all by itself.
3) That leaves it to me, since my title is Mods Manager. The problem is, my job is to monitor the Subsim Downloads section and keep it reasonably organized, nothing more. The sticky threads are none of my business, or my concern.
4) Even if one of us went through all the Mods sticky threads on a regular basis and managed to keep everything up-to-date, most of the people who want to know where things are would start threads like this one anyway, and you would be posting links to the sticky thread, and expecting them to read the whole thing looking for that one mod. It's much easier just to post a link to the mod itself, which is what Razark did.
You are a great modder, and a very helpful member, but I think this constant harping on something that is never going to happen - mainly because it's much easier to do it the other way - is getting old.
Or if you're really that bothered by it, why don't you post a link in the sticky thread yourself, and every time someone asks you can then point to it. No, that would be at the end and not in the first post. Neal did put a link to the front page of the downloads section. Have you PMed him to ask him to put a link in his first post?
