The migration to Discourse has eaten some of our old sticky threads. Those were amazing compendiums of knowledge for all matters RP. Below you see which former sticky thread made it through:
Most of the RP resource stickies were not migrated, and are very likely to be lost once the old forums become inaccessible. The problem with those RP sticky threads was that they were linking to other, older threads as well. We’re risking to lose years of RP guides, community archives and knowledge.
This is an opportunity to migrate old RP knowledge and to create new guides and get them stickied by the Blizzard forum team.
I won’t have the time to maintain any thread, but I’m certain that there are plenty of volunteers who’d feel responsible for keeping our community resources up-to-date. Also, once the first trust level 3 users come along, Wiki threads allow more dynamic contribution by everyone. But until Wiki threads are made and stickied, knowledge from the old forum should be preserved.
It’s definitely worth seeing the “Useful threads” stuff updated and compiled into something new - maybe not a Wiki post (I have visions of that being abused) but something more up to date. I had an old “RP outfits” thread that was linked in there somewhere but I haven’t touched it since Cata, so it was basically useless.
Huh, switched it up in the edit. Looks like I got to wait one day before I can maker further edits (I made about 50 in the span of today while editing some other threads)/
