I'm sorry but this level of entitlement perfectly encapsulates what I see on a daily basis from people who don't know how much work admins actually put into anything IT related.
Football sticky threads
- Thread starter Paul the Wolf
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
I think he was referring to @moses
THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT?!?!?!!
Strange how nobody knew about this before you did...hmm.....
As someone who enjoys playing the prediction games (well, not all of them, since it is too much work to even try to participate in all of them so I cannot imagine how much work it must be running them..) maybe I can add something.
First of all massive thanks to @Paul the Wolf for doing this. It is great fun and your immense work is much appreciated!
Then, I can say that for me, it is not problem to bundle those sticky threads in one sticky games thread. I know where to find them, I am alerted when someone posts in them, and since people are adding predictions regularly the threads are regularly bumbed.
Obviously I cannot know how much more difficult Paul's task of working on them becomes by the change (although I would assume it should be possible to adjust?).
But I would really hope that, once the initial anger clears, @Paul the Wolf you can find it in yourself to keep going. For me, the change is not a problem and I would very much love to continue to be able to play. And I am sure most if not all posters participating feel the same.

The idea that there is only one way to do anything amazes me
I suspect old Paul isn't very adaptable.
i very much enjoyed leaning over and whispering “and they’ve unsticked the football forum threads” before watching the life drain from her eyes
This actually reminds me of a neighbour we had who used to work on his car at the end of our road. Nobody else could park there but he was happy because he got to spend his time under the hood ripping things out, making a mess, building something. Until the council turned it into a through road to alleviate traffic congestion for everyone else. He then got furious and replied in the same way; "it was fine the way it was."
Laugh it up!
Did he delete all the threads now?
oh well, that escalated quickly and senselessly..

Not really. It sounds good in some ways, I actually suggested this as a solution, but there are all sorts of games that make it non-trivial to do. The 7 in the football forum, werewolf games, numerous Drafts and things like the Celebrity death pool. To justify making a single game forum or sub-forum viable all games would need to go into it, and after extensive discussion it was apparent that the advantages of this were outweighed by the disadvantages.
Unexpectedly serious stuff this.
Is this not viable then?

Was hoping woke would at least let us have our stickies but alas. They come for everything and anything these days.
Great fun for a Friday afternoon, well done all involved.
What an incredible flounce.
But it doesn't. Or if it does Paul refuses to explain why. He mainly seems to be in a huff that he, neither a mod or admin, wasn't consulted about such a minor change.
if he didn’t really know the difference between 4 and 6 o’clock, how do we know he was scoring the threads correctly anyway?
I soft deleted them. If he’s going then I’m just tidying up
Raise your wands potterheads.
Something indicating that in the stickied links thread would be an idea surely? Unless I'm looking right through such.
How the hell did this reach 4 pages
Well if he doesn’t change his mind we will have to remove the links in the stickied thread with the links
I really like Wolfman! Hope he doesn’t leave us for good. Always good for cutting through @Maticmaker’s waffle (sorry @Maticmaker).
But seriously, since most of the original stickies are now deleted can we re-sticky the 3 threads still running?

Gone before 6pm too
And there'll be another if the threads don't get stickied before then.
fecking hellHi @Paul the Wolf, I don’t know if this is the right time to bring this up, but all of those spreadsheets are actually the intellectual property of RedCafe and we’re going to need those back. Ideally by 6pm.
Sticxit means Sticxit
Because you either can't or won't explain. Your complaint seems to be utterly trivial or simply huffing because nobody asked your permission. If you can't explain clearly why the former isn't true then we will have to assume that the later is.
No you haven't.
I'm not sure if we should thread ban you for stirring or if you win the internet for the day. I suspect the later
