[Closed] TOTW - Where threads go to die?

100% this. In fact I never look at a thread once it makes it to TOTW.

Both of the above.

Making a thread sticky is about the same as making it invisible. Has the opposite effect of what was intended.

< Waits for this thread to be made sticky as a punishment for subversion .... 😂>

Same for me. I just tune out those threads at the top.

I hadn't even noticed that this was a thing, so 100% agree.

When I look at the forum listing, my brain automatically blurs out the coloured threads at the top and ignores them.

It appears that I’m not alone in this.

Yup. You're not.

I'm Spartacus too. Don't really register the pale threads and it's also hard to see if anything's changed so I ain't gonna click on it just on the off chance that there's some new insightful contribution. (Or a fish pun)

Same. 100%

Can I suggest moving the TOTW under the other sticky one ( whatever it is) and either making it the same colour as the normal threads, or at least a different colour from the Whatever it is sticky thread that nobody has actually read since their first day using STW x years ago.

Whaddayathink?

I'd go with that suggestion. My positivity thread got picked and the replies pretty much stopped as soon as it did, even I had to hunt it down as I thought someone had deleted it! It was ticking along nicely up to that point.

There are sticky threads? I just assumed they were all the forum rules that no one reads

Great thread. Thread of the week. #totw. Prize to that man.
