too many stickys too many stickys

I would suggest unsticking the motorgp one - if it isn't that popular why stick it? I don't think convenience of posting is a very good reason. If members are that interested then they can use the search facility. Just because there is no F1 race for three weeks doesn't mean there isn't any news. It's popular threads that are stuck such as the F1 which is very popular.The Ashes will be unstuck soon and that has been very popular. If there are few fans for a sport then a new thread can be created because it will disappear very quickly.

You've just proved yourself there's only two people who regularly posted in the thread, you could add each other on MSN and discuss it that way or just create threads occasionally or just keep digging that one up (Bookmark it).

It'd be like creating a sticky in the Console Gaming section for the two people who still play FIFA 2002 or a sticky in Discuss Anything for the two people who like train spotting.

If there are only 2 of you using the thread to talk to each other how about you go on MSN so then there is no need for the thread to be stuck, and if there are three you can have a three way convo

Maybe we want to use the forum to discuss it?
And we can't "keep digging it up" as there is a double posting rule - which doesn't apply in our stickied thread so that's beneficial.

I don't add people from online on my msn - so why should I start just because we can't discuss it in a sticky?:rolleyes:

There is need for that sticky & we shouldn't be discriminated against because there aren't many of us :S

It's nice to be able to discuss it with people. There was NO need for it to be unstuck.

@ Rosie - that's the point, if I create a thread with race results adam or luke or thewolf then have to search for it if they come online a few hours later. It's not causing anybody ANY harm.

Yes you do i know for a fact you have Matt and Leah on MSN. And as far as i know you haven't met them.

In my eyes you're being slightly arrogant asking for a sticky for two people. It is like me and my friend asking for a sticking about Bull fighting because we do it and don't want to keep making thread when the big fight is on in Madrid. You may say no one knows about it, well i don't have a clue what "Moto GP" is and i am an avid sports fan. Personally i can't see there being much support for a bull fighting thread so you can't complain when no one is jumping around for a Moto GP one.

Yes but that's not the criteria for a thread to be stuck and there is a search facility It's not discrimination. On the basis of your argument most of the threads in this forum should be stuck!

Anyway, they have both been unstuck so it's all academic now.

It was an example of a scenario - you can't tell us not to post on the forum it's rude. The thread is also a place to draw other MotoGP fans in.. the thread has been there for several months & the other day Angel-Charlene posted in it saying she's going to get tickets for the Valencian GP - so there we go.. we meet another MotoGP fan, which is very handy as we love discussing our sport with more people.

I wouldn't ask if it was for a stupidly unpopular sport which won't have many fans, but for all we know there are more fans on the forum and the thread is good to find them (just like we found Charlene was a fan) as MotoGP has millions of fans worldwide as it's a worldwide sport.

There are nearly as many MotoGP fans as F1 fans, infact there were only 20 thousand less people at the MotoGP at Donington the other week than there were at the F1 at Silverstone.

If it was a thread for another form of racing I like.. say British Superbikes which events attract 40k people to an event yeah it'd be stupid asking for a stickied thread looking for fans but MotoGP is a worldwide popular sport and it's good to meet new fans and discuss things.

YOU TRY GOING TO SPAIN AND TELLING THEM BULL FIGHTING ISN'T A SPORT! :@

And no doubt Moto GP is a popular sport but it doesn't exactly have a fan base on here?

Is this a Spanish forum? No.
Is this a universal forum - yes.
Is motogp a universal sport - yes.

There is a Sports forum for a reason

People were complaining it's too general in the sports forum the other week, random threads about random sports & in that thread these stickies were mentioned as a good thing.

For all we know the next few members that sign up to the forum could be MotoGP fans?

It wasn't doing anybody ANY harm when it was stuck and you're just going on now for the sake of it.

Well keep the thread live - up the people who are fans and contribute regularly then it would fit the criteria. Sorted!

Like i've said Rosie... do you want me to spam it for the next 17 days? Because nothing is going to happen so there is nothing to discuss

At the moment myself, adam, luketheduke & thewolf post after EVERY race. It's only been unstuck today because it's been inactive for a few days - because of this reason.

[iAdam]

Right, I have no problem with it being unstuck, we can keep it alive, but if we do get a few more people, which is unlikely, then there could be a possibility of it being stuck again? While it's summer break there wouldn't of been any posting anyway.
