Hey there SoCal-ites,
In reviewing "sticky situations" here on SB, we're trying to make sure that any/all stickies in the forums are really sticky-worthy. Many of our stickies are old/outdated and nobody has kept them current. In the SoCal forum, a big chunk of the first page of the post listings is taken up by a long list of stickies.
I see that the one listing Emergency Contact Numbers hasn't been updated in over five years. Do you guys really refer to this sticky? Say, to send people to so they can put info in their speed dials or something? If nobody is using it, can we unstick it? If you want to keep it, can I have a volunteer to update it, please?
Other sticky threads seem to have been used more recently, particularly the conditions report thread, and I'm inclined to leave that one stuck.
For ones like Lost and Found, wouldn't it make more sense for a user to simply post up a new thread when necessary? Why do we need to keep a permanent list of everything lost and found as a sticky? I'm open to hearing good reasons and leaving it stuck if you feel strongly about it.
So that's the sort of thing I'm looking at. I'll add a poll for you to vote for which stickies you would like to see stay stuck. Please vote. If you don't express your opinions in sufficient numbers, then I will have no choice but to simply make an executive decision for each one of them.
Please feel free to post your comments as well. Thanks!
