Suggestion Unsticky-ing unneccessary stickies.

There are a lot of stickies (especially in the plugin developement section), wich is outdated or there is no reason for it to be there. For example EvilSeph's Discussion thread about the changes made in 2011. Is it possible to unsticky them? Thanks?

 

@mcdorli, I've discussed this with @bwfcwalshy for months.

What did we come up with again, walshy?

 

Please remove this from the list
http://bukkit.org/threads/how-to-read-stack-traces-and-troubleshoot-your-own-plugins-by-yourself.324
It is essential for it to be there

 

I think that the three "Oops, I broke your plugin" threads are the only ones that are really outdated. All of the others still have usage.

EDIT: Actually, the "Getting your priorities straight: The plugin version" is also outdated, and not relevant to the current API, either.

I honestly just link that all of the ones that either have outdated content or talk about some change from an old release that nobody uses anymore should be removed or edited to make current.

 

I wanted to select the bottom 5 but since I can only select 2, I thought I'd comment that I wanted to select the bottom 5.

 

@Lolmewn, I believe the ambiguous health needs to stay. I see too many threads on it.

 

And that means the users aren't reading the sticky thread.

 

Do we live in different universes? I never saw one of those. And I go trough the whole list of unread threads multiple times every day.

 

People aren't having this issue much. Not recently.

 

I honestly think getting this implemented would be more productive. http://bukkit.org/threads/have-you-looked-at-these-pop-up.324815/.

@eyamaz posted this near the beginning of the year but it hasn't been added yet. I have made a couple threads about getting the sticky threads to change however the idea was smacked down or just forgotten.

 

Most of the things that we are looking at doing were put on hold until the merge to the new system. Though, I may just make some of the updates sooner since the migration may take longer than expected.

(No, there is not ETA when it will be done, but WoW is being handled first.)

 

I have a question. What will change? Like I mean the look of the website, the thread management, etc.?

 

@timtower So, will they ever get removed. I see a lot of votes on the last 5

 

Bump

 

Sorry I'm late but I couldn't resist this again. It's a little outdated now but:

Anyway, unsticky them all - nobody reads them anyway.

 

Just because nobody reads them doesn't mean they should be unstickied. They can be linked to easily (shouldn't be needed, but as you said people don't read them on their own), which I do fairly often.
