Incredible hit from Chikara gel pack

[Yoel]

I don't think that one was sticked

by an user, was it? It was actually helpful to newbies, which is the purpose of a sticky after all

I don't know who made it sticky but it was Friendly's thread and his comment is what

motivated me to unstick it.

Sure bel, I was actually replying

to Friendly, you and I posted simultaneously (as in I didn't reload the page)

"Nobody can expect a new member

to know what is wrong and what it is right. Buying a sticky was an accident waiting to happen. However, Bruce

thought they could be unstickified at the time, which I don't think is the case. Given that revelation, probably it

is better to leave stickies to threads created by or stickified by Bruce himself."

I agree with bjf, I think

it would be just easier to leave stickies for bruce, because even if you limit the time a sticky can be up it still

wont change the fact that there will be posts made that may or may not be informative or helpful to the site.The

stickys should be for important information and news. And especially used for TGIF's or other things we should know

right away.

[pheromack]

do we get some sort of points

back from it being unstickied?

[belgareth]

Probably the best way to look

at it is that you rented the top space in the forum for a while. It gave you the chance to earn extra points from

having your thread at the top of the forum. If it was a good thread and got lots of replies, you earned your points

back. There was never any guarantee it would be permenant. If you think about it, there's no way it could be

permenant. Eventually the forum would be reduced to a long series of sticky threads and all the others would be

relegated to obscurity by being at the end of the list.

good point there yeah i think the

points could be best used not on stickies.

Good call on that one i think - popular threads maintain their top

100 status most of the time anyway. And the discussions are so fluid it would clutter up the forum (similar

stickies on other forums make them unreadable)

Suggestions i think on sticky points though are a good

idea

I had a good hit from chikara on its own yesterday - half a gel pack to work and as normal my sales for

the day were very high. But it seemed that i had quite a few large electrical purchases that were impulsive and

with credit cards but i was the one that was gettting them and not any of the other workers in my sales area ?
