Pointless Stickies

Please don't lock this thread. It's not flaming, I just seriously think that there are way too many stickies to scroll through in a bunch of the forum sections.

GENERAL SECTION

"General Discussion Stickies"
http://www.gamerenders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=44737

it's a really old sticky, and a bunch of the links are broke

"What are you Listening to or Watching?"
http://www.gamerenders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=120536

Who cares what I'm listening to? It's just a spam thread. No one reads what anyone else writes, they just go there and get +1 post count.

"Goodbye", "Forum Rules", "Referral Links", and "Your favorite threads"

These are all forum rules, they could be consolidated into one thread.


GAMES

"Counter Strike Hacks"
http://www.gamerenders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=154757

I don't even know why this is allowed. Hacks are illegal third-party application modifications, and thus are wares. Wares are not allowed to be discussed at GR, so I don't see why CS hacks have their own sticky.
Also, the topic is dead.

COMPUTING

"Free Gmail Inviter"
http://www.gamerenders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=72555

Outdated. Gmail invites can be had at gmail.com now, there's really no need to have this here, considering anyone who is going to register can get the code their just as easily.

RENDERS

Lots of similar stickies. Some consolidation would be nice.



that's it for now, maybe i'll update later

 

Doubt this will get locked , as you have taken the time to look through the forum and make a suggestion about how to improve GR

Some good points there

 

also there is loads of pointless ones in the Shops & Services

 

Don't people pay credits to buy the sticky thread item?So why would the Shops and Services be pointless unless it's outdated.

 

I agree with you as the H2o pinned thread is just useless, theres been loads of rendering tutorials on GR an' all around the net. The tutotial seriously does not teach you anything (apologies H20) an we have 2 others tutorials which are stickied, which actually teach you sumfin... Its un-needed an a waste of space.

In general, its just BAD. They should get rid of the "whut you are listening to" and a few more which I can't be bothered explainin ^_^

 

Also the "Counter strke hacks" is just showing basicly how you could detect a hacker by knowing what to look for for the different hacks they use.

 

Stott wins. Much agreement. Do what stott says.

 

he isn't god, Llamaman is...

 

Thanks for the suggestion, stott. I'll be working on cleaning some up.

edit: Left the "General Discussion Stickies" thread but renamed it.
Left CS Hacks stickies because it isn't really showing you how to hack just telling you what they do, but any other Moderator can remove it if they wish as I don't know much about it.
Cleaned up some stickies in the Render forums but I'll let the Render Mods decide if they want to remove more.

 

GJ Stott & fuse... I personally thought this needed to be done a bit back...

One thing though, i think the tutorials in the render section should be consolidated.

 

I tried to do some consolidating with the "Everything about Renders" thread, but instead of deleting the smaller threads with less info, they deleted mine with about 6 paragraphs of info...

 

Fooze saves the day again!

 

CS Hacks is appropriate as it just describes them.
but i don't think it needs to be pinned

 

I agree with all of them except the what are you listening to thread, it may be pointless but if it wasn't pinned then a countless number of people would make a thread of it only to realize its been done. Having it pinned prevents this as its the first thing people see.

 

Nice points Stott. Out with the old and in with the new stickies.

@ Sabretooth. There are hundreds of threads at Gamerenders with the same Render, topic name etc that contain the same thing. But the thing is most of them are on the 6th + page in the forum. So by starting a fresh one about what people are listening to ins't really killing anyone.
