Skkorp,

Just a suggestion here but if you noticed on the last two threads involving the Cards in the community or in referance to there charity work. Look at the number of views.

The last one that went off today had three replies and a whopping 60 something views after being on a sticky for at least 3 full days.

That shows me that people just dont care. You can bet that some of those views as well are the three people who posted looking for replies.

Heck your average thread with no replies can get 100 views or more in a day.

All Im saying is that with the obvious lack of interest in the stories about the Cardinals charity work. Does it really warrant a sticky. Just a suggestion because lately it seems the amount of stckys have been overwhelming and cluttering up the board?

I'll slightly disagree,

I like hearing the Cards in the community PRs.

The republic won't ever publish this stuff.

I think it's OK to stick for a day or so, but I agree with you, there are too many stickies. Should be a 3-sticky limit or something like that. It makes it uneasy to read the new posts once you get by the stickies.

You are one of the very few bro.

Thats obvious how on a 3 day sticky it has less than 100 views. Someone who follow this board can scroll down and read it before it gets pushed off. Instead of it being a sticky.

But with that being said Skkorp PMed me and explained why its done and I completely see why he does it now. I was just making a suggestion!

There's nothing wrong with having these as stickies. No other news outlet talks about the good people do in the community like this. Keep it up!
