   @GMMan Yes this stickr is annoying and pointless. However, it's just a widget and all the messages are being stored on Stickr's website. So it's not really a waste of server space...but still a waste of time lol

   Again IMHO, it's an annoying open door for non-moderated bad-mouthers and show-offs just wanting to use it as a way of saying anything they want.

   It does not add anything new (or even worthwhile) to the site!

   And it looks that almost all the comments by people that answer in the blog are negative.

   it seems to me that the guys behind the GOTD concept have lost their steam in the past two months and the supposedly helpful things they offer cause problems.

   They push something like this Stickr on us without prior consulting causing IE engines to fail (and even if it has been corrected since, consultation could have prevented it ever happening), the offers they have are at most very bland and seems like clones of each other (except for a few gems along the way even if they are mostly newer versions of already offered programs) and the forum (although having its inner workings renewed and overhauled) is not the place it used to be.

   Aside from the games discussions, the word associations and the Italian threads which are very much alive, the rest of it is starting to look dormant and some look dead.

   But the worst part of the forum is that it is beginning to look like the external world and that is not good.

   There are some people that seem to gather here just to talk to a select few and ignore the rest of us, there are some that just respond negatively to some threads offering "free legal promotions" outside of GOTD by saying things like : "It has already been offered here in the past" OR " This site's WOT ratings is not 100%" instead of saying "Thanks" and then, there are some who don't even acknowledge your researched posted response to their problems when you offer to help.

   I am not only speaking for myself here but I have observed this sad development in many threads where other respond to help.

   I myself always thank the people that have helped me by showing me how to troubleshoot a problem or by telling me of programs that are worthwhile.

   As Christmas approaches, I feel we should help each other by thanking the ones who help, by being open to others and by accepting that we each have something to contribute.

   After all, this is what the definition of a "community" should be!

   Happy Holidays to one and all !!!

   Unfortunately, the feedback here has not had any impact on management.

   For me, these "stickrs" are a distracting annoyance - a real PITA. The few that I have read are just valueless trivia which gets in the way of the regular info. There should be a way to turn it off.
