    Do you guys think it would be a good idea to put up a few stickies at the top of our piece of the forum to answer many of the same questions that are appearing daily? For instance: Step by step how to start in hotshotting? Maybe product reviews that are relevant to this profession? Not advertisements. A breakdown of the 65’ rule and the over/under 26k rule? Maybe a list of each of us and where we roll out of so a noob might reach out to a person local to them through PM? Also Admins why is there not a vendor section? Just some thought guys thanks.

    Thanks for your input, but we try to cut down on the number of stickies because they cause too much scrolling or swiping for members that just want to get past them. Stickies can easily get out of hand, as many of us have seen with other sites, so we've made it a point to try not to have that here. Because of that, we've tried to limit it to two in each forum.

    As for the vendor section or product reviews, anything that encourages advertisers to try to infiltrate the site isn't going to happen. We try to keep the site clear of all of that so that we can focus on members having discussions.

    It would be nice to moderate the one sticky to have everything edited into the one post and delete new questions once answered on the original post. I know that would take a lot of work and probably never happen. I have sifted through the 60+ pages to find a few answers I was looking for but man was it time consuming.

    It would basically turn it into a detailed FAQ article for Hotshotting. But that's just my opinion.

    I agree. I can see where it could easily get out of hand but what we have now is out of hand and makes finding good info hard. The space is clogged with folks that are not searching BUT when you do search you get so many returns from the same questions over and over again. There is a solid process in order to get a business like this up and running and most people that are posting think it starts with getting a truck. I think we can all agree that that is towards the end. Heck let the admins do the stickie and turn off comments. Limit it to like say the “Big 5” questions or something. Maybe just 3.
