Ok so that is the same as MLB and NFL playoffs. Same amount of popularity, just different places of where the people are from. And if it won't be there long, why sticky it? (Although it would be there long, until the WC is over).
Ok. Is this just something to complain about for the sake of complaining? I mean.. is this really a big deal? :-| I'm a chick and could really care less about baseball, football and soccer... but yeah, I guess that's beside the point. :lol:
Anyway.. how about when the Super Bowl comes around or the World Series, you make a thread about it and I'll personally make it a sticky thread.**
Would that appease you?
**Assuming of course, that I'm still alive by that time.
That would certainly appease me, as it would be fair to all.
All you have to do is ask. That's the nifty thing about private messages.. it enables us to not try and have to read minds. |

| I stickied it just to be nice. Nobody asked me ... I just thought it was a friendly gesture. It's once every four years after all and like it or not, everyone is talking about it right now. I won't stick my head back in there since I'm not a soccer fan, but all it is is a post that happens to stay on the top of the forum. I don't see what the commotion is about really. NHL isn't comparable though. Nowhere near the appeal. |

Well, it may not get the "point" across very well next time if you start off by *demanding* anything.
Just keep that in mind. |

The stickies are there in the Lounge for topics that should always be open. For example, if the Name Change thread isn't posted in for 6 months, it needs to still be there, because someone will need to use it. But other threads should only survive based on the merit of their popularity, the participation in them. If people decide to stop posting in the World Cup thread because they are uninterested, then it shouldn't sit there as a sticky, it needs to be let gone like all other threads. If it is popular enough, which it is, then it will stay at the top of the Lounge by its own merit.
My case has been made.

It's not about that, it's about the principle of the matter. |

I'm not aloud to use the word "demand?" Obviously I'm not really DEMANDING anything, because I have no authority to do that, it was just a figure or speech. |

Didn't say you weren't allowed to use it. Just that if you read the following, you could maybe see why it would put people off. You know the old saying, "You get more flies with honey than you do vinegar".

...and do I care if I put some people off? I do demand it, for the sake of justice.
