I happened to notice that someone had added a new story to the Tales sub-forum. After first opening said forum, that story was nowhere in sight. I had to go all the way to the last page, along the way moving past stories that haven't been updated in months or years. Why is this, you may ask? Because every single topic in the Tales subforum is stickied, and those that are recently added will eventually be stickied.
What I'm getting at is that I don't quite understand WHY all of these stories are stickied. As noted above, some of them haven't been updated for a long time now and the chances of updates to any of them (including my own story) are slim. Those stories that are recently made are automatically relegated to the last page until someone stickies it... but sometimes that won't fix things either since old stories tend to stay put on the first page.
So, I propose that the Tales subforum should work under the same rules as the other subforums; no use of stickies except for things that need to stay on the front page, like Kija's guidelines thread for what can and can't be posted in that subforum.
