Cleanup stickies / guides

[equk]

I think the forum etc looks great (esp since the upgrade).

I just find so many of the guides (some from 2005 etc) are outdated, some with info the isn't relevant anymore.

Also on a few occasions people reply to these stickies to have others reply with comments along the lines of "do u realize when this was posted"

( which sort of proves that they shouldn't be a sticky as people deem them as being outdated? )

I believe you do have a point there, although, they shouldnt be removed, as they may still be of use to people with older kit. just unstickied.

Unstickied is a funny word, but yeah, unstick them sounds like a good idea.

Here are some examples

OS & Apps section: 17 sticky threads - all are outdated

http://forum.overclo...rum/28-os-apps/

Games - 4 sticky threads - 3 outdated and 1 links to wikipedia

http://forum.overclo...forum/27-games/

List of free commercial games - links to wikipedia

Free Online Games - list made by members of this forum based on experience of playing them (outdated atm but mainly because no one has seen it for years)

Networks & Security - 6 sticky threads - all outdated

(some are copy & paste's from other sites)

There are probably a lot more.

There are also a few on other sub-forums that just require updating

also a few threads which are useful that should be stickied

Yeh I vote to get rid of the really old ones. They have little to no use nowadays and something more recent should be stickied instead.
