"important Topics"
I think the words, "Important Topic" for the pinned topics should be changed. Important Topics suggests that anyone elses topic is not important, and therefore their problem is not important. I think it should be changed to, "Pinned Topics" , "Main Topics" , "Core Topics" or something else that doesn't de-value the other topics. I know its a small issue but I thought it needed mentioning.

Re: "important Topics"
I agree with Gandalf, it is a small issue however there are many users who are at the edge of thier branches and little things can trigger bigger things or can be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Re: "important Topics"
Yeah I do pick at little things all the time too..but with the siggy picture I was just pointing out why they were told it was too big and copying in the rules, not passing judgement on whether it was...

Re: "important Topics"
I think thats wrong. They're not more important. So.....they're the rules. but is that more important than somebody who was raped....i dont think so. I think it just makes the mods or whoever put them there look like they think they're all great and they are "important" when really all they do is post alot and maybe delete a few while they're at it.
When I hear somebody sigh that Life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?
If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were; and I say Why not?
It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears.

Re: "important Topics"
I'm sure it makes people feel utterly degraded, horible, miserable... that the sticky topics are labelled as important and theirs aren't? If someone honestly takes offense and is hurt by that, there's something wrong with them beyond having their topics not labelled important. That's like all this PC crap you get nowadays. Bah.. whatever.

Re: "important Topics"
I say change it to "pinned topics" or like "Hot topics" you know something other than impotant, prolly pinned though cause that gives it no higher value that the other post. I know it sounds petty, but as i stated before, there are many people here who have major things going on in their lives and little petty things can set them off and we don't want that, I know I don't want that.

Re: "important Topics"
I don't really see it as a problem. I mean, how many people look at them and say "they're more important, so I'll just read them..."
That's me in my avatar, wasn't I soooo cute!? (I still am, but... not AS cute, hehe, j/k )

Re: "important Topics"
Thats what I meant. When your really depressed little things can push you over the edge, I didn't want to say before because people have said that was silly in the past.

Re: "important Topics"
Important Topics are generally important information pertaining to the use of the board that NEED to be read in order to fully understand the rules and such. Forum topics are not important to ensure the forums are being used correctly and that information is not being repeated. If you really feel it's that big of a deal, go for it, but I don't see the problem with telling people there are certain posts that are important to read before they post.

Re: "important Topics"
ppl never read the topics I pin n e way
<span style=\'font-family:Times\'Something told the wild geese
It was tine to go
Through the fields lay golden
Something wispered- "SNOW"
Leaves were green and stirring
Berries,luster-glossed
But beneath the warm feathers
Something cautioned- "FROST"
All the sagging orchards
Steamed With amber spice
But each wild breast stiffened
At rembered ice
Something told the wild geese
It was time to fly-
Summer sun was on their wings
Winter in their cry
It was tine to go
Through the fields lay golden
Something wispered- "SNOW"
Leaves were green and stirring
Berries,luster-glossed
But beneath the warm feathers
Something cautioned- "FROST"
All the sagging orchards
Steamed With amber spice
But each wild breast stiffened
At rembered ice
Something told the wild geese
It was time to fly-
Summer sun was on their wings
Winter in their cry
