Phil, I'm a HAPPY Z06 owner for about 6 weeks, my first hot rod, first Corvette, so my frame of reference is limited. I think this forum is terrific, and I've been a member of a variety of forums since I was able to connect online back in the early 90's. I wonder why you object to this thread?

Charlie- I totally support Mr. Bill's calendar project. I just find this thread sooooo unnecessary because what he doing is such a benefit to our community that giving it sticky status is a no brainer. I just can't understand the Forum's inablilty to recognize that. I too enjoy the Forum and have found it to be a great resource; however, sometimes I think its administration can be very arbitrary.

Meanwhile, I searched the database going back for a little more than two years and the only one of your threads that has been removed was deleted on Aug. 6, 2011 at your request when you reported you had posted it in the wrong section.
This 105-post thread may be a good example of why we ask that questions, complaints and suggestions be made to us via PM or e-mail, rather than in an open thread:

Some of you seem to have gotten all lathered up for no reason when the issue could have simply been addressed with a PM or e-mail request for a sticky.

Good........
Good question. First I've heard of it.
Give me the specifics and I'll be glad to take a look.

This is good to know, but with threads being locked after only a few reply's, it's hard to believe no administrator noticed this one until brought to your attention. Besides, in this day and age, it feels good to vent for a cause you support!

While venting may make you feel good, it just makes the jobs of the volunteer moderators more difficult than it should be when their work is being challenged in open threads.
It's just not possible for the volunteer moderators to do a comprehensive read on everything posted, so they depend heavily on site users reporting posts they are concerned about.

A review of moderator activity in this section shows 15 threads have been locked during the past 30 days. Most of them were dupes. In 12 of the threads, the moderator involved posted the reason for the lock.

Good to know, but this thread was never about locked threads, it's a movement to get Mr. Bill's 2011 Slideshow placed back as a sticky.

Perfect........
The comment about locked threads was in response to your introduction of that topic. As to your point about the "movement," my point continues to be that the moderators can make a thread sticky if someone sends them a request via PM or e-mail.

Here's another vote for Mr. Bill's slidewhow. Mr. Bill, keep up the good work.
Creating dissension among the ranks by not making the slideshow a sticky is good for the morale of the membership. Not!
The last thing this forum needs is pissed off members otherwise, pretty soon, there won't be any members left.
A word to the wise should suffice.
