QUOTE: Originally posted by skiloff Personally, I think they should have another forum category under Model Railroader dedicated to these types of threads that bergie would personally approve to be good enough to be on there. People would only be able to reply to topics, not create them, or perhaps just have them there as reading material. Regardless, Joe's definitely should be somewhere special so its easy to access.
QUOTE: Originally posted by CARRfan It's not going to happen. As selector said, it will clutter the page.
QUOTE: Also, this is MR's forum, and I'm sure they don't want it to appear that any one person / poster has more significance than any other.
QUOTE: You could imagine over time things would really be a mess. Joe has 4, aggro adds one about weathering, another about trees, someone else on handlaying turnouts. They'd all be great, but there would soon be a total mess.
QUOTE: Then how does MR decide which ones are good enough to get the "sticky approval".
QUOTE: But from a simple marketing point of view, I highly, highly, highly doubt MR would "sticky" anyone's threads.

QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate Gee, you guys really know how to make a guy blush. [:I] I agree that regular stickies will over time just clutter up the first page. I think perhaps a new "Best of" forum that it locked so people can't start new topics might be workable. Also, for what it's worth, I'm talking with MR on ways to make lots of this in-depth how-to information from the forum clinics (and more besides) readily available online going forward, with something to possibly materialize next year sometime. No promises, but we're kicking around ideas. The fact I do internet and web stuff for a living and like to do how-to's on the hobby helps, so one way or another I'd like to see this kind of info become more accessible over the internet.
