Why so many sticky threads?

Quite correct.

Shouldn't this topic be stickied?

I agree that there are too many topics that are stickied. I'd rather see just "housekeeping" topics flagged.

For other topics that have a transient level of perceived importance then the frequency of posting to that topic will keep it at the top. And if it's seen as being not too important it will disappear down the page(s).

NP: The Oxford Murders - Roque Baños

That one should be unstickied, I think. It's weird to have a sticky thread that's closed as well!

Hmm? I use to try to post in the appropriate thread if possible on something that I was writing about but if I couldn't I'd start a new thread. Result=you can't do that. Now I have a thread where I can and its being criticized. Is this a polite way of just saying don't comment anymore. I think my film music a neglected art stays.

And since it's a review topic that is posted in regularly, you should have no concern for it not to frequently be at the top. It just doesn't need to be there when it's not in use.

You're right Tom, asking why there are so many sticky threads is exactly the same as asking people specifically not to comment anymore!

In fact, it's probably best that MT is shut down to avoid the risk of any new threads and comments being made entirely. After all, that's exactly what Michael is getting at.

I think the "emoticon" thread should remain a sticky...or even better: there should just be a resource where all of them were listed (without any replies).

I'm also not sure about Tom's review thread being a sticky. Nothing against Tom and his reviews, but I'm not sure he should have "special privileges" in this regard. After all - and as everyone points out - the thread is thrown to the front once he adds another post to it.

My two cents, anyway.

Perhaps we need a small list on the right that only shows the "infinite sticky threads"?

Moi!??

But of course! A triumvirate of wickedness is now complete!

I'm considering banning people.
Any nominations?

You can still update the regular thread. I didn't have anything against it being sticky, too.

I said I have two choices.

Erik told me and I listened to him sometime ago that I should promote my site by starting a thread on the review at all of the film music sites ie FSM, Intrada, etc. This is an example.

As a group you decided you didn't want this so I stopped but we did agree on one thread and having it on the main page seemed to be agreeable to all, thus the sticky.

Naxos sends me material such as Metropolis and what I try to do is sift through the material and try to find classical works I think you might be interested in. I've chosen not to post each review on Maintitles as many find it uninteresting but I do include everything on Film Music: A Neglected Art.

That is your choice. You decide on what to buy in other ways.

That all seems very sensible - and every time you update the topic, it will appear on the first page of the forum - just as when the other Thomas updates the thread about maintitles.net reviews, that appears on the first page, or when I update my own reviews thread, that appears on the front page. All seems sensible to me!
