They're placed as a sticky because there is no other place to categorize them.

Having them as a sticky allows us quick access without doing a search and allows to keep discussions going as well as add technical data resources to our Reading Material on Steroids sticky.

I am confused by this comment. I don't think there's any misconception about what stickies are in general. I don't agree that there's no where else to put them.

Maybe stickies need their own forum, or maybe even a new network separate from the internet.

I don't run this place I just use it to the best of my limited abilities and stickies work regardless of how dumb my comment may have been to some of you readers. :wink:

Hi,

I agree with Mark, and for reasons of my own.

The Stickies are good to review now and then.

The Stickies (regardless of forum) save a lot of time, especially when a Newby asks a FAQ that would otherwise require some time on the reply attempting to find an older thread.

Stickies are more productive and less frustrating than the "search" function which for a Newby, as when I was, one received less than satisfactory results. Example if one typed in Tung Sol 7581 clicked on search and did not add "AND" one would receive a whole bunch of irrelevant results, some on Book marked Coco Bolo wood, others not the least tube related, etc. Now try typing in Tolex. The frustrated individual posts to a forum.

I am cool with new posts. That's the point of a forum, however, I was exposed to such things as the "Presonance" Control Mod which I would never had thought to look for in the first place if not for the Stickies.

Even stuff that I was well acquainted with, Light Bulb power limiters, the Sticky showed different ideas.

Finally, I have agreed with the Moderators good sense to make certain threads sticky which adds value to the forum.

Stickies don't take up that much space, a lot less than the crud advertising you find on some forums.

Best regards,

Steve

WHERE THE HELL DID THE TOLEX STICKY GO?!?!?!

But seriously, I was just about to say: 'The people have spoken, and the stickies shall stay'. Seriously, I just wanted to get everyone else's opinion in case anyone else was feeling the same way as myself... you know, bored and looking for something to bitch about :lol:

This should be moved to the telecaster forum.
