Too much stickies = clutter, and I have to scroll more than half a page down to new threads.
That's generally my view too, which is why I decided to minimize them in the first place. I think a forum should have no more than a half-dozen stickies, otherwise it starts becoming cluttery. But at the same time, I know the confusion for the average user who comes in for the first time looking for a good mod for their game, and don't know where to start. I know I'd be looking in stickies if I came to a forum like this looking for mods...

Which is why I'm ambivalent on the issue. I can see both sides :hmm:
