Wanna dump a sticky or two? Or not?

Dale, please eliminate the following sticky from the U-Pipe forum.

  • THE GREAT UILLEANN YOU-TUBE THREAD.
  • Pictures of Your Pipes
  • tune ornamentation
  • 78 RPM recordings available online
  • Pakistani UPs and other ‘budget sets’… the facts
  • Dale, please leave the stickies intact.

Wanna?

Thanks Dale,

On my screen I have to scroll down to get to any new topics. Too many stickeeeez. Trad lessons, I’d never go. Tune ornamentation - it’s a topic, not a sticky. Pakistani pipes could probably be truncated and plopped in the FAQ. I think the two that stand out, or add value, are the YouTube and Pix of Pipes threads.

All the best,

Just dump them all.

Or in this order of dropping preference : Tradlessons, Ornamentation, Pictures of pipes, Pakistani, Youtube, 78

You’re a silly sausage, Peter. :laughing:

I’d say dump them all except the YouTube links…

I’d say keep the photos sticky as it has 300,000 views, four times as many as the next sticky. Obviously, there’s some interest in seeing pictures of pipes if it is the most popular thread view and post wise.

I’d say keep the photos and the YouTube stickies and dump the rest. They can all be brought up as topics as they don’t see much action now.

I’m going to go ahead and unsticky the tradlessons.com thing.

I’m inclined to agree with misterpatick.

I would suggest the FAQs need overhauling. The purpose of stickies, as I understand it, is to help relieve the community from the same questions being asked over and over again. This doesn’t seem to be working, so perhaps the FAQs need to be redone again.

A simple addition to the existing FAQs of “Where can I find on-line uilleann piping instruction?” would be a perfect segue to a link to Eskin’s site, plus one to NPU’s on-line lessons, as well.

I’m going to de-sticky

tune ornamentation
35% [ 11 ]
78 RPM recordings available online
29% [ 9 ]

these and leave the rest. Thanks for your input.

Dale

At least it doesn’t take as long now to reach the topics of discussion on the board.

I still think all the stickies are unnecessary and I would remove them all.
