Why Sticky ?

I can perhaps understand why "The Breakroom Returns" is sticky, but why "Truly Great Movies" and "New Game" ? Let's have a pretense of Democracy, shall we ?

Hi - I did it to get the place moving again - they are un stuck.

This from a guy who hasn't been seen outside the Breakroom since 2004?

J/K,
MJ (who has rarely been *in* the breakroom.)

Me neither! I was a moderator here once, we will get back to that in the future, but let's count hits on threads an forums here, and I remember when many people used to say they came here just to laugh at our repartee, and even if only a few thousand did that every week, they were here.

You were the first guy to say hello to me in WPW mikmik - the fridge

Worse, until very recently, I hadn't been seen outside Wen's "Is today today or tomorrow yesterday?" for more than a yonk or two. I enjoy(ed) the company there, and I enjoy the breakroom (usually).

This thread was intended to be positive criticism. I know that when you are too close to something it's easy to miss what's happening, and I really believe that stickiness should be reserved for important, or instructional, messages, and that otherwise a thread's position on the ladder should be determined by its frequency of use.

I've been retired since 2000, and even before that I was a heretic, preferring the easy way offered by "FrontPage" and similar wysiwyg programmes, so I don't think my input on that subject would be any better received than it deserves to be. I also find that there is a limit to the number of times it is possible to stay focused while discussing the relative merits of content, layout and colour-schemes.

If you want me to leave the breakroom I will, but reluctantly. I still enjoy throwing nonsense around (especially at MikMik), and where else can I do that ?

The breakroom would never be the breakroom without you. I can still remember being worried about you and your operation. And what did you do? Chased the bloody nurses

The story about me chasing nurses is an urban myth. At the time it was all I could do to chase my breath.

Oh, heavens no! I was truly teasing you ... I am so sorry if you thought I was in any way suggesting you don't belong here ...

I'm glad you explained that. I thought you meant Michael Jackson.
