Title: Reduce pinned topics
Post by: Karsten75 on November 07, 2017, 02:30:46 PM
There are too many pinned topics in this forum. I'm looking to unpin topics. If a user has multiple topics pinned, an alternative would be to create one topic that links to their other topics and that single topic can remain pinned.

Voters can vote on those topics they least require to be permanently pinned. You do not need to use all your votes. Vote stuffing is prohibited. Sock puppets may not vote.

Topics above are listed in order of appearance for me, no particular importance should be inferred from order.

Edit: It's counter-productive, but I've temporarily pinned this topic. This topic is 100% eligible to be unpinned at the end of voting.

I think the following could be unpinned, as they fall under PRPL, they could all be linked in the Library. (Most already are)

[Tutorial] PRPL Programming video tutorial
PRPL debugger: Trace you code step-by-step and see changes on stack & variables
Custom ship editor: build ships up to size 128x128
Custom Modules Thread
PRPL: Syntax highlighter
PRPL+ a PRPL language with local variables, script including and more (v0.2.1)

good idea to put all the PRPL things into the Library.

Maybe leave a Tutorial Pin for the tutorials [i know more are coming]

That would reduce the number of pins.

My thought on what could be unpinned: 

[Library] The great library of Particlandia

PRPL debugger: Trace you code step-by-step and see changes on stack & variables
Custom ship editor: build ships up to size 128x128 (v0.2.2)
Custom Modules Thread

Isn't there an area on the wiki for PRPL scripts made by people? [first one] 
The other 3 are the same program, really. Custom modules can be used in the custom ship editor [and personally, thats the only way I use custom modules] and the other two of those 3 are the same program, right?

There could be just one topic with links to some to be unpinned topics, as long as the title clearly indicates that the tools/tutorials/examples exist. Moving these to the wiki is indeed possible, but greatly reduces visibility, so a pinned main topic would still be helpful.

I changed my votes.... because I can :)

But Seriously, the Library is probably the one that should be "super" pinned, as it links to most other things.


EDIT: I volunteer as tribute! You can unpin the "So you want to make Particle Fleet Maps" I have a link in  the Particlandia, if people are looking it'll be there.

While the library was no designed for this, it definetely can serve to host some "low-priority" pins. Needless to say, whichever topics will end up unpinned will be moved to the library, if they are not already there. I'll probably add "(previously pinned posts here)" to the title temporarly to make things more clear.

BTW I completely forgot there is a section called "script examples" or something like that on the wiki, I'll link that in the library and upload my scripts there as well.
EDIT: It seems there are only CRPL examples on the wiki, so I'll leave it as it is for now.

Adding your scripts to the existing  libraries, or creating a new sections is a great idea. Either way will work.

According to voting above, the following topics has now been unpinned:

- PRPL Programming video tutorial (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=26816.0)

I am also making the following topic non-sticky and asking the owner of the Library topic to add it there.
