How does a thread get stickied?

fred8615 · 08-12-08, 08:33 AM

I see the R.U.I.M. thread got it, and it has less than 25 messages and 1300 views. So how does it work?

Popularity or usefulness of information I think its a varying criteria
of worthiness. theres ways to tie yourself to the thread in your
user control panel if it doesnt get stickied.

They don't trash 320 gigabyte hard drives. I'm crying, looking at my formerly unimaginably huge Monster drive. It has your name all over it. I dread the thought of the consequences if all your great music library were easier to find.

Personally I set up an RSS feed of your FileFront site and check it a couple times per week for new stuff. I'm sick, I know.

For the record, and at the risk of any future equipment I may connect to my computer, I ask that the moderators give Fred a stickied thread for his radio and phonograph files.

I concur. I use them all the time, and they're just as valuable of a mod as any other.

Sometimes the creater just asks for a stickie. Sometimes the thread is so popular that it gets stickied. Looking at the sticked thread mentioned, not many posts. Does not mean it should not be sticked. A lot viewed the thread, yes. Dig a bit deeper, and see how many times the mod has been downloaded. Looks like just over 200 times since it was stickied. Shows a lot of interest and worthy of a stickie for a while. So, do we grade a thread on how many posts to warrant a stickie or do we look at content as it relates to the game. Personally, I look more at content. Also, many had issues with the uniform in the unmodded game. Here is a all in one, cover all uniform mod that looks darn good. Needs a stickie.

Now, about the phonograph mod. Direct me too it and lets take a look.

Well, I think my Radio Stations and Music Mods meets the criteria you mentioned. Over 16,000 views to date; except for the MBS station and latest add-ons, the downloads for the stations and the music are in triple digits. A few of the music files are approaching 1000! As for content, well over 20 GBs enough?

And I'm still adding stuff!

The link is in my sig, if you want to check everything out.
