    Stickys

    Just an observation.

    Something like 28k people have read the rules and regs so I will guess thats somewhere near the amount of members. But then the other 15 or so stickys that have great info have no where near those numbers. Maybe I am guilty too as I skipped a couple of them, but is there a way to make people read all the stickys for a board before they start asking all the questions?

    This would save the boards alot of hassle but unfortunately there is no such thing. I always recommend to new members use the search tool and stickies and do some basic research. Its really not all that hard. Next time tho keep a thread like this in the Lounge part of the forum just a heads up.

    it's worse than that, we currently have over 109k members, few ever read the rules or stickies.

    Basically, it's like reading an encyclopedia set.

    There is a lot of info.

    I think that it is a deterrent to newbies.

    That's why we get so much traffic in Q@A.

    Some do actually read the stuff.

    Most don't.

    Going to get my lottery ticket now!
