My suggested list of stickies:

• 1. Stage Discussion
• 2. Matchup Discussion
• 3. Q&A
• 4. Guide 1
• 5. Guide 2 (If Applicable)
• 6. Compendium (Contains every other thread that is "worth a sticky" but placed into 1 thread so as not to have an entire page of stickies)
• 7. Important read threads (Such as Gimpyfish's "Shiek is Female" sticky) (If applicable)

My thoughts:

They need to change one of the General Discussions to a Q&A, keep it stickied. The other General Discussion can be unstickied and be exactly what it is. Due to it being a GD thread, it should be bumping itself if the boards have any activity at all. A Compendium could remove several of the threads that are neat things to know or have, but shouldn't really be stickied.

Sticky: Captain Falcon Friend Finder **Under the management of Reaver197** Updated 11/7
Yah Character Friend Finders are... interesting, but half the time most of the people are no longer active on the board, and you can tell by anyone who frequents the forum. They should have a location and friend code on their profile, or you can always PM them it. Another thing that can be stuck into a compendium.

My thoughts:

They really aren't missing anything, but they do have quite a few extra threads stickied, and some that aren't stickied that are good enough to form a Compendium.

Overall View:

G&W boards make me happy, they have all neccessary stickies, with 1 extra one. The video thread. I feel every board should be like this one, and I may change my mind about Video threads being unstickied, but if there is anything recent they will always be bumped hence my feelings about it. This board is just a prime example of what I want every board to be like

organized!

WTF? 2 Stickied video threads? Otherwise they have a nice sticky order going on, besides the usual char. discussion/video threads. They just need a good Compendium (didn't bother to really check the guides >.> they probably are semi-Compendiums if I remember correctly.)

 

[ndayday]

Whoa...you've done it again Havokk. Good job.

I only have a few objections. The chaingrabbing guide for Dedede should be kept stickied, seeing as noobs are still joining, and many of them would post threads like, "how do i chngrab" and many people like to just say, "Read the stickies." Take one of them down, but not both.

I think the Jiggly boards are fine...MAYBE take down one of the stickies. I agree with all the other characters, but I think the discussion threads should stay stickied. Like I said before, good job.

You're taking over Smashboards!

My only objection to the char discussion threads, is that they are self-bumping. There really is no point to having them stickied.

I'm rethinking about the Video Threads, but I really do feel those can go into the compendium. (They are important, but not THAT important)

I guess for the chaingrabbing ones, we can leave one, sort of like a replacement for a mod thread. (Items off, this is how 2 CG) lol

EDIT:

And if they don't listen to me, I'll make this the largest Compendium ever.... it may take 2 years to find EVERY GOOD THREAD FOR EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER but I'll do it. :3

(2 years == 2 weeks or less for me)

I still prefer they at least listen to some of my suggestions but imagine having this is a super-mega-char.board-sticky with "anything you ever needed to know about anyone"

lol

@ Falco:

General discussion is not self bumping. (no one really posts there) But since no one goes there, it doesn't really need a sticky anyays.

Video thread: We already have a compendium, but no one reads it. ("how do I chaingrab" threads) I think the video thread is bet off on its own.

 

[deepseadiva]

This is awesome Hav, I had a sort of discussion for the Peach's awhile ago - though it seems to have gotten out of hand again.

I was thinking of starting "The Peach Boards Maintenance Thread."

We'd discuss stickies there and stuff. Maybe each character board should do one.

Stop answering there questions, rename the Compendium to "Everything you ever needed to know" and in your post post this:

Everything you ever needed to know is right here. Trust me.[/url ]

Without that last space. Make sure every person does this. Make sure all active members of the board post that one right after the other.

That'll stop 'em.

The sticky idea would be a good idea, so long as it's not a sticky, and people discuss in it.
