A New Stickied thread Please?

[Takeda Shingen]

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.

in the edit signature box i made the pictures Very small, i dont know what happened to them after i saved o.O

It's based on how large the actual file is, not how large you make the box in the signature window. You'll need to resize the via a graphic editor program, then upload it to your server.

i can easily change it, but i cant upload it anywhere, and since you arent allowed to upload pics I dont know where i would upload it onto the internet without making a profile on some Retarded website. i wonder why you cantupload.... hmmmmm

It'd be very polite towards other users if you removed the images from the sig altogether before they're sensibly sized. That sig is so outrageously big it hampers forum usage when it pops on the screen.

why can its only be 120 Tall? thats like impossible to find a pic at orr below that. besides ive seen plenty of people with much much bigger pics on their sigs (not bigger than mine, but bigger that the "maximum"

I turned off sig display a little while ago because it seemed at the time that there was a competition to see who could get the biggest signature. Now, I am totally oblivious to it all and get to enjoy reading a fairly clean screen.

Not a bad choice at all, but I prefer to keep them on just to keep make the forum feel more alive. Dowly also usually has good looking chicks in his sig. If someone holds on to an annoying sig for long I just block them with Opera's built-in content blocker, an operation which takes a few mouse-clicks.

Thank you for making me aware of this option. You're right, it's so much better.
