Sticky More Forum-Shaping Stories!

Postby MessengerOfDreams » July 18th, 2010, 4:31 pm

I have pushed this for awhile now. And what I am advocating is that forum stories that are popular, have shaped the forum in one way or another, or have had a certain amount of views, should be stickied. Some authors (Sonicfan) feel inferior when Brando's story is the only one stickied. Makes us feel hopeless. Some of these stories really deserve it.

Stickying more stories or making a system would

    Make us more motivated to do good
    Get more views to dead classics
    Make us feel not inferior to Brando


Don't get me wrong, Runouw's Forum is good. But what if it's NOT the best? And your toting it like it is the only deserving one is hurtful. And it's tough cause we can't sticky all stories.

Stories with more than 500 views, or 50 comments, or have had an impact like TLT and TRC (Which won Ridder and me a couple's award basically for creating Sam and Ema), should be stickied.

Comment if you agree. This is a petition.

Silent Conversations and a Crow's Final Song!
My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.

Not sure about popularity, but rather how good they actually are. So yeah, some stories should be stickied i.e TRC. It's perfect for the sticky option :D

I like the Intention, MOY, however I do feel 13 is WAY too much. I really don't read into these stories anymore, so it can't be me to decide. But perhaps you could only stickies stories that aren't dead?

I think the whole intention of sticky-fying was to immortalize dead and alive stories...
