I can’t speak for everyone… but being the author of a couple of stickies, I keep an eye on mine on a regular basis.
Mine are the Non-Performance Accessories and the Cross-Over Explained threads.
I believe they serve a huge service to new people in MF. Many like to go back and refer to them about something they forgot.
Mine get read every day, I know because I watch the counts.
Now… mine don’t get postings added to them very much because there isn’t much to add, but every now and then someone does add something - - Every so often, I go in and clean out the “Conversation” so the topic stays to the point.
I also know people read them because I probably get 2 or 3 PM’s a week thanking me for putting up the information or requesting further explanation on a particular point.
Since I am not the author of the other stickies, I’m not going to do much about moving them as to not offend the author. But, I will have to agree that the sticky section is getting crowded and possibly could use some consolidation or cleaning up at best.
I suggest some more “rational” conversation in here with some of the discussion on what threads to keep and what ones to consolidate or un-stick.
Remember, there are a lot of new people in here and novice car owners who rely on information in those stickies for when they finally have the time, money or mental fortitude to modify their new ponies!

I think your too critical.

I don't know about you but I have noticed there are alot of sticky post in this section on a bunch of How-To. I don't like to bitch or complain about things and I pretty much go with the roll of things. Can we create another sub-section called How-To and Write-ups? I think the sticky section should be used for Manufacturer announcements and contest. Pretty soon, we will be having to go to page 2 to find new post.
What do you all think?
