Time to reduce the number of sticky threads

We have too many sticky threads now and the frontpage of this forum is getting cluttered as a result. We would therefore like to ask if someone could please create some new threads containing compilations of the current guide stickies.

It could be great if we could have guides of the same type being placed together in the same threads, perhaps something like the examples below:
- All class guides and talent build guides should be in one thread
- All item and gear related guides should be in one thread
- All macro guides, UI lists, Math and Calculation guides should be in one thread.
- All class related quest guides, Raiding Guides and class related soloing guides should be in one thread.

When these new guide compilation threads have been created, please report them so that they can get stickied and thus replace the current sticky threads.

Please note that if no one is willing to create such guide compilation threads, then all the currently stickied guide threads will get unstickied in a week’s time or so from now.

Q u o t e:
Make ONE sticky thread which contains links of all current stickies? piss easy.


No this will not work. If nothing gets posted in a thread for a while, it gets removed (and not many people post in guide threads). The only way to prevent this is by stickying the thread, so the actual text needs to be in the thread, not just links to another thread.

In case you guys need some inspiration on good solutions for cleaning up this class forum a bit, I would like to show you guys what has been done in some of the other class forums in order to reduce the number of sticky threads:

Druids:

Mages:

Paladins:

Rogues:

Their solutions are all pretty much different from each other, which shows that there are several methods that can be utilized in regards to reducing the number of sticky threads. :-)

Q u o t e:
Warrior IRC Channel Unsticky
People that really want to know use the search option

Percentage Ratings at 70 for a Warrior Unsticky
Too little info in too much space. Besides numbers listed everywhere on the net and in other guides

Alien's Guide to (Improved) Slam p2.0.1 Unsticky
Aliens and Meadows will merge and make a Slam + Sweeping Strikes guide later

Tanking guide ABC Unsticky
Redundant, simple as that

How to "Beat" Rage normalization Unsticky
Outdated, a populistic whine thread in the first place

Warrior quest rewards (blue) Unsticky +
Guide to Aldor/Scryers Rewards Unsticky +
Pre-raid PvP / DPS gear Unsticky +
Compendium of pre-raid tanking gear Unsticky +
Above 4 are compiled in Comprehensive guide to warrior gear http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=194559515 If not that copy, Ender expressed he might update a full clearer one. Meanwhile this should be stickied instead.


Which leaves only three topics (four if Slam+SS gets added)

Some updated macros for patch 2.0
Threat & Warrior Tanking Guide
Compiled Gear Topic
as described above


That's not more than paladins and rogues have. Warriors are settled as far as I'm concerned


Glorious... Very nicely done :-)
