    I really am starting to get pretty pissed at all these people trying to create "FAQ" threads, etc, just so they can have a sticky thread. :mad:

    Helping people is one thing but when you over-try to create a sticky thread, it's just annoying. I know a lot of people are doing it for the extra views (to increase AdSense displays).

    I think the minority of members are complete n00bs here. I think most people here know how to conduct business, know what the forum categories are about, etc.

    Bah.

    All this people? I did not know they are that many? I can tell you i do not make any FAQ for make more Adsense money. I do it beaucase MANY members abuse DP and keeping the MODS busy with small stuip things. I seen after my 2 FAQ the SPAM and PM went down to 0 in my inbox and if you read many other have the same thing.

    DP giving me so much so i want to help back thats all and do you really think the MODS would make anything sticky if they did not think it was a good idea?

    My traffic from DP has not gone up 1 % from 2 Sticky, why are you not angry at people U/L warez and taking emails from DP to spam? Thats a better way to get angry i think

    have a good day and be happy :) And i am sure you did not mean me right?

    Well most of new members making a thread about this and they even don't read FAQ and Sticky threads..:)

    I think they should read it before making those threads.

    It all depends what you think about it. I am not much bothered about who gets what from here.

    My suggestion: Just do your own stuff. :)

    If it's because they want reps.. then that's a bad intention... if they just want to be helpful around here... it's all good :D But.. hmm , hasn't gotten too annoying yet.

    I've never noticed, so they can't be too overwhelming just yet. FAQ threads are just a waste of bandwidth - most of the answers are commonsense or in the official FAQ/Rules anyway.

    I think it's an admin/moderator's job to create sticky threads, cos I'm sure they know more about this forum and its rules.

    I see many annoying threads in DP everyday. I don't care whether its FAQ or not, and what I do is just ignore it. EGS, I think you should also do the same. Atleast, these members are annoying us for helping someone, but most of the others are not. :)

    I hate stickies. Too many stickies and you have to scroll down so far just to see the next thread. Take a look at namepros
    http://www.namepros.com/for-sale-advertising-board/

    Actually, there are a lot less than last time I went there. But still too many.

    Stickies, 'best advices for collecting free links', 'top tips for adsense' seems to be daily standard here :)

    You know what's crazy? People don't pay attention to stickied FAQ.

    But n00bs dont have commonsense then?

    Then why do they ask questions by PMing members like us or posting here and asking useless questions WHICH can be found in the DP FAQ.

    :confused:
