Purpose:
The purpose of this thread is to secure one sticky thread that we have more control over to add good information to. We have 3 stickys up top and that is already more than Admin is comfortable with, so I thought I would start this and if it catches on we could request the other stickies be taken down with this in it's place.

Folks coming to our forum would have one stop for all of the pertinent threads, and this way we can add to it without requesting it from what is probably an already overrun administration staff here at Alla.

That being said, here's what I see as being our best threads, if I'm missing some or you would like some added for informative purposes, let me know either in this thread or a PM.

Wintaru, why the heck don't you have Sage yet, with all the helpful things you do around here?

I'm rating you way up for compiling all this, and I agree that one sticky thread with links to others would be really useful. If there's anything I can do to help get it stickied, just poke me. :)

ROFL I have a feeling it's due to my insane post count haha.

Anyone know how to get my links to open in a new window?

Cool musta been some glitch I had last night then.

Anyone have any other threads they want added?
#7 Jan 20 2005 at 11:02 AM Rating: Decent
Beautiful. So much easier to have a one stop for the threads of interest. People won't need to bump the popular threads now.

Though I noticed you omitted the Good/Bad Player threads. On purpose or just not up, yet?

I wasn't sure of everyone's feelings about having those as a sticky. I'll wait to hear more opinions on the subject to try to do what the majority wants ^^

Good call, I'll see if I can dig that one out of the abyss.

Just thought I would add...if we want this stickied I can't be the one requesting it. The admin will look at the thread to make sure it is formatted well, is useful, overall rating, etc, and then they'll decide whether or not to sticky it.

If enough people like it then by all means post to have this thread stickied and the others removed. If you dun like it then we could all just bookmark it I suppose, I'll keep it alive for us ^^

Seriously Win, great idea ^^

Must... get... Wintaru to... Sage...

Damn your post count, damn it to hell!

Rate up fa joo.

I refuse to believe that my favorites list off my browser was enough to populate this compilation ^^

You know, I've played with the idea of doing that for over a month, but to be honest I've just been too apathetic of late, and too involved in distracting IRL crap.

Bravo Win, for beating me to the punch, and doing a better job than I would have done.

Give yourself a cookie and make yourself one of those special... potions. Good work!

    Smiley: cookie

    I thought that was your own pic, not one of alla's smilies, on account of it not being on the list. Smiley: blush

    Haha:)

    I'm trying to decide whether or not to renew my subscription. It's up in a few days. I like the smilies and all, but I don't use any of the other premium features really.

    /echo Hijacking...

    I dunno, it's not like it's all that expensive.

    'sides, it'll look really weird not seeing "Defender of Justice" next to your name. It's the only way I've ever seen your name, so it'd be like you getting a bad haircut to lose it. Smiley: wink2
