Announcement: Stickies reorganization

[Hitman]

Hi everyone,

following the reorganization of sticky threads in the SH4 forum in the new style (Less threads, with links inside) I'm doing the same thing for the SH3 mods forum. Neal considers this more useful, but if you don't like the results, tell him so in the comments to subsim review forum or in this topic.

Thanks

Hitman

Don't like it. I thought the thread about completed ship models is extremely useful since it's easier to find newly developed ships and keep together the various modders. Now that the thread already was on page2 just because there was no progress for three days will take attention and support away from the various projects.
With single projects and mods where every on already has a singele thread I see it differently.

Well, I think that you've robbed Peter to pay Paul.

Yes, you've decreased the number of stickies, but with the likely result being an increase in NEW threads from people who don't notice the now "hidden" specific threads.

And this means the forum getting clogged with an increase in the same questions being asked over and over again (if this is conceivably possible). And I'm guessing that if the last few weeks are anything to go by, a proliferation of new GWX-related threads will cause aneurisms!

FWIW I quite liked seeing at a glance when the new ships and various mod threads (including the SH3Cmdr one) were last commented on. It was always good to read the latest comments easily and see if any new info was added that might be of help to me. Now, instead of clicking where I see a changed thread, I get to either scan *all* the updated threads or click to go into the linked sticky, then click on each one to see whether comments have been added (yes, I know I can subscribe, but then I get an inbox full of notifications instead). Hmmm...

BTW, I disagree with your comments re the reorg of the SH4 forums. I distinctly see two mod stickies in the workshop.

I agree.

Well doing this was not my idea, I just followed the general indications all moderators received about cleaning up the stickies. I will consider all your comments and try to get a better solution.:hmm:

as i understand it, now that these threads are no longer stickied, any new post or edit to existing post in the thread will result in it poping up to the top of the forum just like a new post so everyone will see it and it will not be necessary to click on each one to see weather comments were added.

This is just too funny! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
