I'm stickying 4 of the best-followed threads to the top.
If this was a good thing to do please vote accordingly. If this was a bad thing to do vote also. thanks.
I'll check in a couple of days and leave or put back...

Doesn't matter whether you sticky popular threads or not - they'll float up on top on their own, just as they have so far. Sticky is for important things that don't get much traffic, but you don't want them to sink (resource library, looking for group).
In fact, stickying threads that are already popular might have have a bad effect on other stuff that gets seen and/or posted in when people scroll to get to their original destination. For example, with the themed challenges thread stickied, I and a lot of other people who mostly post just there, might never notice any new threads that pop up below.
Just my two cents, I'm not really bothered either way.

yeah like a resource library or whatever. "Sorted by Platform" should be up here. General bullshit threads like "Last Pug in One Word" will float up on their own whenever relevant.

The MP Resource Library should be divided into sub-forums (such as the missile thread below this started by a particularly handsome user) and should be stickied. Maybe Looking for Group as well. Or the resource library could be revised so that all of the important info is linked on the first page (as on old BSN). It should be stickied in any case.
Agree with SMR that the "daily reporting" threads such as Highs/Lows, Last Pug, Last Solo, etc. don't need to get stickied as they are always going to be bumped to the front page.

YEah, i m against sticking thread with lots of traffic. People might forget to check them up this way. So it s not that they dont need to be stickied, its more its a bit counter procuctive to stick them.
For the themed challenge i m not sure, but it s really not important either way

I agree that pinning is for threads with important stuff that are in danger to get lost.

Much as I loved seeing Crim's reaction to the Last Pug thread being stickied, I don't honestly see the need for it, or the BSNer or the Recent Highlights threads to be stickied. My "Participated" button gives me quick access to those even if they have drifted down a bit. I contribute enough shitposts to them to help them float near the top anyway (and I'm not the only one.) I kinda think a big batch of active sticky threads is more likely to lead to other posts being missed - but I don't care strongly about it.
I do think the LFG and the Themed Challenge/HoF ones should be stickied though, because they both actively encourage play which is important in the lull before ME:A.

This is yet another thing that makes the forum confusing to use. Please don't sticky non-important threads.

I also believe there's no need to sticky the most popular/frequently updated "social" threads, they'll be up the top due to their nature. DragonRacer's resource library on the other hand, the BSN by platform compendium, LFG are the ones do need to be stickied due to their reference nature. Personally I am hoping that Themed Challenges will remain stickied, it has a very niche place now in lieu of the official ones. it's the original post that gets updated and read first when the new challenges come without trawling through the pages of the posts, whereas the regulars i'm sure tracking the new posts in it anyways. and I think at some point Prestacious mentioned, if my memory serves me right, that'd they'd consider removing stars from the title should it be stickied which would be nice

I'm inclined to follow MPApr2012 's advice, if people agree... Sticky: Resource / Themed Challenge / LFG and add BSN platform, Unsticky the rest.

Consider this a plus 1 for that idea. I like the idea of information being stickied, but "social" threads being not stickied.
Those sound like good topics to sticky.

I'll admit, as the community gets bigger (and we'll hit 50,000 posts soon), changing anything becomes a big deal. From a mod perspective, we'll try to be careful and judge the mood of the posters (which is not always quite so obvious as it sounds )

Honestly not sure why you didn't just sticky the one other thread I requested several times and got a bunch of "likes" doing so in the process. Themed challenges. That's it. Everything else made no sense, unless there was a magic thread I missed asking for everything to be pinned?

So on my clan forums a little program called "Facemaker" was all the rage a number of years ago, and we made a thread about it, and it got stickied, and on this forum where it says "Pinned" on that forum it says "Sticky" so the thread title was literally "Sticky Facemaker".
We leave it up even though nobody uses it anymore

Not sure if typo or pun, as you've reminded me of an educational film I once saw on VHS, starring Tabatha Cash and a young Rocco Siffredi. Anyway. So, um, you guys remember that time Crim had a thread stickied? Good times.
