Stickies, Featured Threads and FAQ’s

[RoundTwo]

Almost all of the forums I’ve belonged to have made great use out of stickies and they were really helpful, especially to new members that join the site and start off with pretty much the same questions. I’ll stay away from using absolutes, but we’re pretty close to that territory.

I think it would be a great tool for the site as a whole to make more use of Featured Threads for all of the usual reasons and benefits. Has this topic been broached with the MS admins before?

Yes, this has been suggested regularly for the past 10 years that I’ve been here.

I stickie is a thread that sticks to the top of the first page of a forum section, so it is easily seem and found.

Mooneyspace has stickies under the general forum notice the two threads titled donation to mooneyspace and new server for mooneyspace. Both are stickies that stay at the top of the general mooney talk forum.

After you get 50 or 100 of those, it becomes less useful.  I'd rather have a good search.  That said, I do pretty well using one of my favorite search engines and the string "site:mooneyspace.com".  Seems to work with all the search engines I use.  Not all syntax works with all search engines.

It sounds like a moot point it’s been requested many times before and never done. It does require a level of work to manage.
