Hi
I notice that in the for sale "fixed prices" section there are quite a few so-called stickies threads which actually take up about half of the page. The same stickies keep appearing on every page so if you skip from page 1 right through to page 2 and page 3 and so on these stickies confront you every time. Quite annoying. My questions are:
A) Do these stickies remain there indefinitely?
B) What is the purpose of these stickies?
C) How does one post a stickie?
D) What qualifies one for posting a stickie?
E) May anyone post a stickie?

Thank You
Fred.

Hey Fred, one of those is mine! I think they stay 'sticky' for around 2 weeks. You have to buy stickies in the for sale forum, i think they cost 800np$. TBH I am a little frustrated as i have had far less interest in the thread than I anticipated, and I think that is because, as you mention, there are so many of them that a lot of people just skip them, or find them annoying. The idea is excellent, as it is the equivalent of a 'paid listing', but i do also feel there should be a restriction on the number of 'stickies' allowed in an area of the forum.
Hope that helps

The idea of raising the price and allowing less stickies would work better :imho:

Thanks for the replies guys. Seems like I am not the only one then that finds an overkill of stickies annoying. :)

Yeah, not at all Binaryman- I think ATM it is frustrating for both buyers and sellers. I think a sort of bidding system would be the best way- perhaps have a set number of stickies for each period, and users bid on those slots- this would also encourage the best domains to be listed in the stickies as people would not spend out if they didn't have a good chance of making their money back.
