I dislike stickies. I really dislike them.

No-one - least of all newbies - reads them. If they did, they'd ask it in the "Newbie Question Zone" sticky, or in the "A3*G crash course" sticky.

There should only ever be a need for one single sticky, anyway. "All You need to Know" is how FAQ1/Sticky 1 is billed - so surely that should include the links to the other FAQs and Stickies.

A3 is better than most threads in that the first 10/15 lines are not stickies - but I don't like seeing stickies added where it is not likely to prevent the same thread being created over and over again.

I know it's more work for the mods, but perhaps each new one should just be moved to an existing, mega-thread "How do I best earn A3*G from <wherever>"
