Title: Newbie stickies and the bitinstant sticky
Post by: 🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 on April 15, 2013, 02:15:47 PM
It's probably a good idea to clear down the amount of stickies, however why is BitInstant still stickied? The forum is endorsing BitInstant and newbies see the thread as an endorsement, but this is a special privilege only given to bitinstant. In addition, there has being tons of issues and delays, and while bitinstant seems to be actively resolving them timeframes of a week or so aren't uncommon and there are reports that bitinstant is marking up the quoted price by an undisclosed $6.

Just take a look here.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

I really think that the bitinstant support thread should be unstickied, especially with all the clearing going on.

It's removed now, I put a few more minutes of thought into it.  If one website is getting a sticky for support, then others will want it, then we're cluttered again.

It's still stickied? I saw it briefly being unstickied.

Having it as a 1 of 3 sticky is even worse, because now it is almost always the first thread anyone sees.
