Old Threads

Hello Smilo, et al.

Over the last week or so, I have gone back and looked over quite a few threads in this forum since the beginning to look for any interesting topics.
I started this because I was looking for a particular subject for a current discussion.
I found it within the first hour or so, but kept on reading because some of the old threads are really quite informative.

Smilo wanted me to do a Texturing / Texture Layout Tutorial which he started a couple years back.
I found that I had actually covered just about all the topics in two or three prior threads.
The only thing I had not covered was Transparent Textures because non of the Demon-stration aircraft had them.
The problem though is that those threads had all the attachments stripped for one reason or another.

I also found quite a few other interesting threads for the designers.
I gave one of them a zombie revival because of its relevance to current projects.
I am wondering if it would be worthwhile to Sticky any of the old threads so we don't keep asking the same questions over and over again.

Thoughts?
- Ivan.
 
thoughts...

i'm not sure i'd like to wade through a bunch
of stickies before i get to the current posts.
also, even though our current stickies are old,
i'm adverse to deleting any of them.
especially those stuck by senior admins.
i might be dumb,
but, i ain't stupid.

that said, i would suggest simply bumping a thread
you find relevant or interesting that is buried in the past.
this smiley, :bump:and the word BUMP
would be more than enough to bring it up front.

as always, it's just my opinion
