  I'm going to unsticky every non-informative sticky.

  Apparently they're not informative.

  Bummer, wish they had their own section at least.

  After a few weeks copy threads will spring up once the old ones are buried and forgotten. Oh well. XD

  That defeats the purpose of them being stickied then.

  Wth :/ This makes me sad. Those threads where part of the only reasons I still visited Mabination.

  Honestly, Ashi, you could easily just unsticky the threads that are not posted in as often as the others that are stickied rather than unstickying anything that isn't "informative"

  That was a bad idea. A thread being stickied doesn't mean it has to be informative. Those threads were popular unlike the spirit weapon thread, and the "server status thread" is hardly informative, being subjective at best.

  This, those threads were like one of the main attractions of Mabination.

  Personally just the accomplishments and failures should stick around.
  
  Perhaps the server one since people get snippy when people post multiple threads during lag.
  
  Okay maybe all of them should stay since people actually liked those.
  
  
  
  But then again.
  I'll wait a month to see if it actually impacts things.

  We had time to discuss this. I gave you all time. Stop ignoring me!

  That is entirely the point.
  
  It is much healthier to cycle out old threads and just make a new one. If it is popular, it will never leave the front page. If it isn't, it'll die. That is how forums work.
  
  If the discussion is to be revived, then simply make a new thread. Contrary to certain individual beliefs, I find having more threads a positive thing. Will there be duplicate live threads? Sometimes it will happen by accident. That can easily be cleaned up.
  
  Informative threads that are too important to keep off the first page, but don't get regular bumps to help it find a permanent spot, should be stickied. Other threads can cause quite a few problems. Good examples are mostly from the Entertainment section. The threads often die or the opening post content becomes incorrect/outdated. The best way to remedy this is to allow the community to create its' own filter and manage their own unofficial/general threads. If they really are popular, and don't die out, then why are you guys even complaining ;_;
  
  In other news I also removed the server status thread. In my rush I had believed it was a resourceful thread to check on. On second glance that doesn't seem to be the case.

  You guys can still post in those threads.
  It's not a big deal.

  R-right?
  
  It isn't like I deleted them or anything!

  I gave it the old apple approach, I'll wait and see if the change actually bothers me or not.

  So I can make a thread about every new accomplishment, failure, suggestion, every time i scratch my big left toe on Mabi? Okay.
  
  The same thing will happen to these threads as spirit weapon thread, then people will either be not encouraged to post or will create lots of spam threads.
  
  I don't see why this had to be changed considering that this change will have nothing but a negative effect on the actual mabinogi-playing part of the community. You don't have to have change for the sake of it if the change is bad.
  
  The example you give about the threads in the Entertainment section are invalid because these are general threads created with the sole purpose of preventing spam. That's important enough to keep them as stickies and also helps promote activity because those are the first things people see in that section - making people who would otherwise not post be encouraged to post.
  
  The premise this is based on is quite pretentious - this is in no way helping the activity of that section.
  
  If this is the case, then the Mabinogi small questions thread should be destickied, as well as the small questions thread in the Future Content section. And every individual topic thread there should be stickied, since that's informative.
