Sticky topics in Show Your Creations

Post by DaveMcW »

For a long time, there was only 1 sticky topic in Show Your Creations, Let's see your clever builds. This was very useful, because it allowed people to post small builds without cluttering the forum with topics.

Then a second sticky was added, Combinator FACTORIO sign. This was not nearly as useful as the first, but it was the best combinator thread for a long time.

Now 4 more threads have been stickied, bringing the score to: clever builds 1, combinators 5. You have to scroll down half a page just to see any other topics in the forum.

If the moderators really like combinators, I suggest you post 1 sticky thread with direct links to your favorite combinator threads. Whenever you see an interesting combinator thread, just add it to the first post.

Problem seen, I've overdone it a bit, will be solved somehow, I'm just searching for the right way. The idea to have a list of useful stuff was also in my mind. Similar idea works already very well for the Suggestions.

Well, we have 3 stickies now. That is a 50% improvement, but really we can do better.

"Factorio Player Health on LED strip" should be unstickied and moved Fan Art.
"Haluzsqua HD Rework" should be unstickied and moved to Fan Art.

And "Combinator Creations" has 11 stickies... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

You're right with the Art-stuff.

But with the combinators: I use the stickied threads myself as reference. If I unsticky them I will not find them. A list of useful postings would make the job too, but I don't have the time to maintain that. Hm. Maybe, eventually perhaps, I have a little bit a hang to sticky things, which I found useful... :) Well, I will have a look into that both in the next days.
