One would think the staff would have mod powers by stickeing a thread with "What we are fixing/doing in XX patch"[:)]

We do, but there are already enough stickies that I think it may actually be noticed more as a normal thread.

Fair enough. I just thought sitting online and pressing the "Vent radioactive gas" button got tiresome after a while. [:D]

I just wanted to add that I will not be as active on the forum over the next day or two due to Easter, but I will be back to full speed immediately thereafter and catching up on any outstanding questions. I very much appreciate the help of informed posters who can jump in and answer questions from new customers in the meantime.

Personally I think some of those stickies can be de-stickified now

I disagree, They are all key posts to inform and attract new players.

But some of the threads could do with being merged
Plus, some of them posts are more for putting onto their website, not a forum post-release

I see. So, like, maybe put the video threads into one thread labeled accordingly.

Indeed Wade
But, in my eyes, promotion material for an already released product should be on their website (it's there for marketing and information after-all), not stickied on a forum
Stickies are for important information that is needed to be easily seen for visitors to the forum
Most potential customers will either look on the website, or actually post questions here

Prior to release, sure they are useful, as most of the regulars will neglect to check the main site for updates.
But after release, they've now been read by the regulars, and rarely would enough new visitors who pay attention be joining to warrant them having multiple stickies promoting the product
By all means, merge some of them for easy reference when anyone asks about them, but again, they have a website for that type of affairs

Of course, this is just my opinion, while I may be a web-developer of many years, I don't really deal with marketing side of things.  So the final decision rests with Matrix, but I'm just sharing my view on the matter

That and 99% of people don't go into the forums. (I actually checked the usage statistics on an article in HardOCP when I made a similar claim and it literally WAS exactly 99% :P... or rather, exactly 1% checked the forum)

Anyways... promotional material should be in the website to make it more visible to potential customers

Always exceptions to everything, and you just have to be awkward [:'(]
