There are 15 stickied threads to navigate through in EACH forum before getting to the actual posts.
Please consider creating a new thread and merging similar topics together into a single thread. The more sticky threads there are, the less likely people will bother reading them--there is a chance people won't read them anyway, it always happens. But too many threads pinned to the top put off a lot of new people.
For example, these threads: REQUESTS: How Can I Get A Request Item Once The Request Is Filled & Closed?, REQUESTS: Tips & Tricks From AnjaBear, Request Thread Rules. Updated 11 July 2020, are all about one subject: Requests.
These 3 threads could be merged together to create 1 single thread instead of 3.
Example 2: A Visual Guide to Posting Items + Attention, Scheduled Posting Available can be merged, as they are both topics pertaining to ZoneGFX.
Example 3: Manual Install to DS + DazStudio Software Upload + Genesis 8.1 Problems? are all Daz Studio related and can easily be merged.
Last and never least, you could dedicate 1 single post to be an announcement post, simply replying to the stickied announcement post whenever a new announcement about ZoneGFX needs to be made. (I don't know if you can lock a post to only staff posting there, but you might want to do so if you like the suggestion of a single Announcement post)
Or, if the forum system does not allow you to do much editing with posts--consider making an official Announcement, Rules, Guidelines, How-To, and Tutorial Forum for staff to post in and for staff to place tutorials and helpful writings in to cut down don't he stickies.
I hope this didn't sound rude, again, it's 100% a suggestion and this isn't my website and I know I don't work or mod here so no biggie if you don't wanna. Just a thought!

Someone that actually likes reading the posts but is a bit overwhelmed with some of the stickies that have remained stickied for years :pI can agree to that... Renderosity was, is, and likely ever will be notorious for having a Wall-Of-Stickies. Same with DAZ (as mentioned). Content Paradise and Hivewire also had it to an extent.
Better to consolidate, and to retire any that are dated. All else fails, perhaps a forum called "FAQ" (?) can hold all the stickies deemed still-relevant?
I only posted stickies in the FORUM (REQUEST) that I actually moderate. There isn't an actual FAQ forum where we could put all this stuff into, at least not when I tried to help hundreds of ZoneGFX users to figure out how this stuff worked when Hunter changed the entire site over.
I actually posted in those stickies I would delete anyone's responses as it was meant only as defacto help posts.
If we have an FAQ Forum, just for helping users - then I could move all that over there and remove all stickies from myself to that space. Hunter made me aware of this complaint thread, and I'm all for it if there is a good solution.

Requests Thread Moderator@Anjabear Definitely not attacking anyone for the stickies. I know you need to work with the tools the forum/community has.
Just tossing the idea out. A FAQ and Tutorial forum would be awesome!
I wanted to remind @Hunter again, of this great idea...
Rank:
+1 for the Collective sticky idea
