Sticky forum

[MindBuster]

To prevent clutter in each forum i have made a "Sticky Forum" for threads with usefull infomation like Guides, Charts, Tutorials etc. etc.

I will make a copy of each Sticky thread from all the other forums and place them in the Sticky forum, only the first post in each thread will be there, the rest is kept in the original thread, a link to the original thread is left in the copied thread located in the Sticky Forum.

The original threads will be unstuck so we have a cleaner looking website, too many sticky threads in each forum tends to clutter and mess up the browsing experience.

You can help finding threads worthy to be copied to the Sticky Forum, if you see a thread that is worthy of being in the Sticky Forum please send me a PM or post in the thread that it should be a Sticky Thread and i will evaluate if it is good enough/needed.

Anyone getting a thread copied to the Sticky Forum will be awarded with some bonus EFD and Reputation.

And please dont hesitate to make some guides/tuts/charts/whatever yourself.

Please comment.

Great idea. It will make it easier to locate information the community deems as important.

Cool, the forum gets better everyday

One problem I see is more work when updating the sticky threads. If the original poster can't update the post, a moderator (you?) has to update the post every time there's a change. That could be a problem with e.g. the mob chart which contains a lot of information that's always changing.

An other way to solve the clutter problem is to create separate links above the thread list, like this:
Useful posts: The Mob Chart, The Armor Chart

Not a problem really, very easy to just edit/replace the posts.

Work is in progress for the frontpage, there will be a section there that can contain links to all those threads. I didnt make it from start as there was nothing to put in it, EF has been around for 3 months now and the threads starts popping up, so now there's some content to place there.
