slayer9019 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Being a big forum guy I have a suggestion that I have seen work wonders in the past, and I see it starting to get implemented here as well. As with a lot of times, newcomers sometimes skip the search or fail to find the answer to a common question or topic. To keep ideas flowing in a continuous thread stickies and "master posts" are created. Duplicate threads ended up spreading information all over the place and sometimes causes irritation to long-time members as the same questions/topics get re-posted a million times. I know that the edit button disappears within minuets of creating a post, which makes the idea of a "master post" kinda impossible, but maybe this can be changed. Example of a master post: Thread Title: Good place to get tattooed in NYC/metro areaSince there seems to be a large concentration of great artists and people wanting to get tattooed in the NYC area, here is a list of threads that might help out Great places to get tattoo in NYC Best Japanese Tattooers in NYC List of great NYC Shops gougetheeyes, Lochlan, Ursula and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example of a master post: a better example that I could definitely see being an awesome stickied master post would be 1) What is a good tattoo (I know this exists maybe just cleaned up in the first post) 2) So you want a tattoo.... (a first timers guide around info around first time tattoos) Dude, SStu and gougetheeyes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer9019 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I currently wrote one for now http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-101/2494-tattoo-history-videos-books.html and will be making two more about reoccuring themes I have seen as I have been looking back at all the threads made since this site started. So far they will be: Tattoo Etiquette Tattoos and Travel Lochlan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 the thing about stickied threads is they get unnoticed at the top of the forum and no one seems to pay attention to them. At least in my forum experience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
