Just out of curiosity, why are threads like "What did you do to your truck today" and "Show'em off" stickied? Maybe it's just me, but I've always considered stickies to be for information and a quick links for new members.
General conversation and picture threads get updated often enough, that they usually keep themselves on the first page without being stickied.
That is a good question. The 10th gen section appears to be the only gen specific section where those types of threads are stickied. I'm going to unstick them as we do like to keep stickies to more of the informational type threads.

Now when someone wants to post to the two most popular threads they have to dig.... seems like you ruined a good thing. Had been that way for years, should've left it alone.

The most popular threads will stay at the top everytime someone posts. This was the only section that had those types of threads stickied.

Right, - it was a good "Douche bag of the day" move for sure.

Nobody posts in the stickies that often, only ONE thread has been posted in on 2018. The show em off and what did you do today are posted in once every couple days so why shouldn't they be in the stickies? Everyone (knew) exactly where they were at. This should've been a poll or something. Seems like one person complained and got their way. I think most of the old heads would say they liked it the way it was, but I guess they don't matter.

Thats why they are made stickies, they dont get posted in often but they are important information so we keep them at the top. The show em off and what did you do today are posted in once every couple days so why shouldn't they be in the stickies? This is why I said the popular ones like these will stay at the top everytime someone posts in them. 11th gen has a what did your truck do today thread, it has never been a sticky and yet it remains on the first page of threads everyday. Everyone (knew) exactly where they were at. This should've been a poll or something. Seems like one person complained and got their way. I think most of the old heads would say they liked it the way it was, but I guess they don't matter.
Never seen so many people upset about 2 non informative, general BS threads being removed as stickies. I will confer with the other mods and admin if it will make you happy.

This is the forum administrator in me.... so take my opinion or leave it - but a guy that has 120 posts comes in and complains and things get changed.

Two guys with nearly 20,000 posts between the (and a CRAP ton of info I might add) ask for it to go back and it doesn't change back? I didn't think there was a chance in hell anything would change in the first place.

I could care less either way, I've got good screens wherever I access the site.

Just my .02

I've never discredited either of the long standing members and I am fully aware of their contributions but that has nothing to do with how stickies are managed on the forum. All the other member did was bring to my attention that this section of the forum was not homogeneous with the other sections. Had I noticed it on my own I would have changed it just the same. This is not about who has more authority, posts, respect, knowledge, or the cooler truck it is strictly about stickies and how they should be used for important information that could need to be readily accessed not what is popular. Anyway I have brought it up to all the other mods and admin to see where they stand.
