RE the removal of the sticky on the Discounts thread, it seems to me that for no particular reason someone or other awoke one morning and decided that they didn't want the thread in the stickied section of the Deals forum, so it was removed.
That thread, which currently has 3,498,342 views, was quite a friendly place where members helped other members, some laughs were shared, many many tips were shared and there was rarely a miscommunication scrap.
Importantly, the thread was easy to find because it was stickied, so if a person didn't want to know about all the lesser deals posted then they didn't have to subscribe but could just drop in when they felt like - because they knew where to find it. Good luck trying to find the thread now folks!
What I don't understand is why only such a small number of us who were relatively regular users of the Discounts thread commented. Why didn't others comment in Issy's thread which was started to inform people that a decision had been made? A decision had been made that affected their enjoyment of the thread and they didn't ask questions as to why they weren't asked before the decision was made
So, I thought to myself that if the silent majority don't want the thread stickied then it must mean that the thread has run its day, it's no longer relevant .....
I don't choose to continue to subscribe to a thread that is no longer relevant, so I unsubscribed.
As I said in the first paragraph someone awoke one morning and decided to un-sticky the Discounts thread .....
