Are a waste of space, nobody reads them but they make up hallf of the screen (on laptops). they would get more viewers and are less annoying when they are un-stickied.
the downtime one will be gone soon. we can unstick the Xenforo Upgrade one as that's old news now. also the "popular threads" hasn't been updated in forever but I'll leave that to bacong.
You can unsticky my racism thread and merge its content into the rules or something if you want Cheez.
Popular threads thread is retarded. Also I still love that the "reminder" of sig rules was in fact Bacong making NEW rules and then editing everyone's sigs in the douchiest way possible.
I know this site is run by IRC people but why does a thread of IRC quotes need to be stickied? Don't you guys already see the stroker stuff by being in IRC?
I'm not raging, just asking about a stickied thread since it seems redundant. You say it is mainly to direct people to IRC, but why isn't there a "external 5/8 pages" thread with links to Facebook, Tinychat, etc. which you claim are just as much a part of 5/8? As someone who has been in IRC maybe 3 times, it definitely seems like there's a clique of people who go around making inside jokes and posting just to get likes from each other. I don't really care, it's just something I've noticed. Maybe it's a chicken or the egg type of thing ... meaning do the so-called "IRC crew" just happen to be friends who all tend to use IRC, or do IRC regulars end up "bonding" because of it and thus end up interacting more on the actual forum? Again, my only original point was that it seems redundant to have an IRC quotes thread. Because of how stickies work, the IRC thread is usually the first thread when I visit General Discussion, so it ends up standing out to me all the time.
It's definitely this, and that should be the obvious answer. It's clearly easier to get to know people in a chat room than through forum posts.
