It would make them show up better in the "new replies" menu.

It would create more work for Mephasteras, though.

I think we already had the discussion, and decided that it wouldn't really be worth the effort for Mephansteras.

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

A turtle is worth a thousand words, as I sometimes say.

Oh. I must have missed that.

Well it probably wouldn't be impossible for him, it's just that the stickies are mainly being used to help new players.

Would have negative utility for me, as I tend to glaze over the stickies on any given forum.

Given how mostly no new threads/ongoing games slip into the second board page...
No. I primarily do not think it would be efficient, if at all, useful (other than the rule of ongoing BMs being stickied--that's the best use it shows).

And that the prerogative of clicking the Mafia board wouldn't hurt at all given its...simplicity. :P

Yeah, I think it's best as things are now. Stickying threads isn't a whole lot of work, so that's not an issue, but it also doesn't really accomplish all that much for us. We only ever have a few threads active at any given time, and keeping the stickied threads primarily for new players & admin stuff makes it easier to find things.

In what other forum are active threads sticked just because they are active?


It's not like there's a huge volume of threads here.
