Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

If it ain't broke, fix it.
Once you make something a subforum it sorta makes it hard to be involved in music discussion on smogon unless you have a particular interest in music, and check the music forum every day.
I'd like to avoid it if at all possible. At least give it a bit more time.
Have a nice day.

awww what eloquently misaimed pretension/vituperation
stickies help you get to the best topics quickly, threads like the comics thread and youtube thread that are going to be used all the time should still be stickied; convenience for users is not a bad idea
when do i get my stickies back?
upgrade to a browser with bookmarks
Congregation didn't get nuked (proof shown here)
So no RIP, or moment of silence.

I concur with CaptKirby.
Stickies would be convenient for the entire community, and keeping track of all those threads would be a total hassle for everyone. I mean, they were put up originally for a reason, right? Sure, maybe we could cut down on some of them for convenience but I'm sure most of them should stay.
Anyway, the only argument you guys have really made against it is that "we don't really like it, our way is better" which is ridiculous.

i don't want to scroll and i'm bigger than you so i win
We are not overloading on stickies again. People who visit many forums are conditioned to skip over stickies as they are usually for topics with static content that doesn't change much. If the thread has enough activity that people would want to "bookmark" it, it will be on the front page or they'll access it through their subscriptions page.

man would there be any way to expand the amount of threads per page that can be viewed
because man this place is going to be overloaded with all sorts of threads and tbqh going to the next page or (even worse) trying to find what page a thread you want to post in or check on is a real huge pain

I am pretty sure what people are "conditioned" to do has never affected the quality of the sticky content here. I do not think there is any good reason not to have the youtube+comics+photo threads stickied, they are all active enough to be docked up there without it being close to "overloaded".
"I'm bigger than you" may be the worst argument I have ever heard. Glad to see you guys are starting out this forum with the proper dickishness.

glad to see you still can't take a joke. If they're as active as you say, they will not need to be stickied. We will be adding some of those "megathreads" to an index with the rules thread. If you'd like that available sooner, you can make the list and send it to me. Otherwise, it'll be up sometime tomorrow night once I have the time to make it (unless someone else wants to do it!).
That sounds really easy to do, but I can't edit shit any longer. Sorry.
And I agree that we don't need a million sticky threads, but the Photo Album is the one obvious choice to be up there.
This is a wonderful idea and I really hope that it's considered.
i do agree somewhat that the sticky threads were active BECAUSE they were stickies - a lot of people viewed them because they were right there in bold at the top of the page, and the nature of those threads is that when you have viewed it, you contribute. however, you must remember that these threads werent created as stickies, they still garnered enough attention to be stickied in the first place... so they don't need to be stickied. does that make sense? i think making threads sticky just for convenience is something we want to avoid - stickying is for threads that are important but dont regularly get bumped. firestorm is right, you can put threads you like in your subscriptions or use a browser bookmark (im not sure but vbulletin might even allow rss feeds of threads)
oh also yes increasing threads per page has been proposed and i like the idea. you can actually do it yourself by adding
to the forum URL (it doesnt actually show 1000, i think the cap is 100 or something). but it would be nice to expand it by default

Code:
&pp=1000The convenience argument has already been made, but with the Photo Album, you also have to keep in mind that the album has existed as long as Smogon forums have, and it has always had its own Smogon webpage. The comics and gifs and YouTube threads are nowhere near as important to the social aspects of this community as the photo album thread is. It should be stickied.
