Default RE: How-To's Stickied?

ORIGINAL: Greg / MO

Maybe we can have Justin create a subforum entitled "How-To Favorites" or something like that... the reason I've resisted "pinning" too many is I -- as well as others -- hate how stickying threads at the top of a page pushes the start of that page down... and with too many "stuck", people just really begin ignoring them (a good example is someone asked about tying d-loops in the tech forum right under my "how to tie a d-loop thread, and people actually felt compelled to offer a link to it...)

The ones in the tech forum were pinned because they answered probably the most commonly asked questions or -- as in the case of Arthur's thread -- gave wonderful insight into a basic process that probably the majority of archers have no idea about, and it's asked about frequently as well.
Greg, the issue with the threads being pushed down is why I made mention of having the subforum (like on AT...I know I know, stop referencing that site, but they have some good resources there). The threads within the subforum would be read-only as to eliminate clutter, unless the mods feel otherwise. I know that you had several very good threads on basic assembly operations, tuning methods, etc, that can still be found using the search feature, but I would think having all of them in one central location at all times would be easier and more efficient. But hey, I'm only one person. I want to hear other opinions on this as well.
