Should there be a sticky post about the forum sorting changes?

Either the existing thread or a new explanatory post would be helpful, I think.

In particular, the front page of the forums will now no longer show a post that is older than one week, even if there is new activity in that post (unless it's stickied). The reason we're making this change is that we want the front page to be more about new things happening in the Community, and less about mega-threads that have existed for months at a time. We've seen success with this approach for updates from Marketplace creators, for example, and with our own update threads, and want to get the programming community to use this approach as well. For API Script authors and Character Sheet authors, we recommend relying on the Wiki to create a page for the script/sheet with all the basic documentation that goes into using the sheet/script. Then, create posts more frequently on the forums to highlight new updates. So rather than using a post that is months old and has hundreds of replies (many of which don't actually relate anymore due to changes in the script/sheet and additionally slows down our servers to access), create a Wiki page, and then make a new post whenever you have a new update/version to share with the community. We think that this change will be much better for new users, since there will be less confusion about how old a topic is, where they should start reading it, etc. Thanks!
