Ok, there are some fairly large changes coming.
In response to a lot of user feedback over the last month or so, as well as a general consensus that the mega-threads can be viewed by new members as intimidating - thus resulting in a lot of people missing out on some of the information posted in these threads - the mega-threads will be un-stickied and all topics members post on Cell, RSX, Graphics, etc... left open without merging and such. Now of course, obvious duplicate threads will still be closed/merged, but this should encourage more user participation and education as posters won't have to contend with the mega-threads as much.
Plus, obviously it will free up a lot of room as stickies are taken down.
Now, of course feel free to post and bump back up any one of the mega-threads any time you like - it'll be a slow transition for some people (including me) I'm sure, and when you just want to talk about certain topics in general, they make a great place to post.
Replacing all of that will be a sort of PSINext 'archive' that I will be putting up in a skeleton form shortly. In the archive, important threads/posts will be indexed and linked to, so that users may reference past important material and threads without resorting to the cumbersome search feature.
The archive will always be a work in progress, and member feedback is welcomed if anyone feels there's a certain thread or topic from back in the day that should be included. Not *everything* requested will be included though - just really important reference topics. Just go ahead and PM me or any of the other mods with inclusion suggestions and such.
It'll be up in rough form shortly - stay tuned.
