Everyone would like personal attention and I think that this should apply to the Forums too.

The Sticky sounds like a good idea. It would also help the people who hesitate in making an account to ask the question for whatever reasons. And since our aim is to help as many members/non-members as possible, this would be like, target achieved.

I agree with this. As I mentioned earlier, everyone thinks their situation is different, even if it is similar to someone elses'. I would not feel comfortable just saying "Hey, go here *link*". Sounds so rude and impersonal. I mean, I'd rather respond to their thread, leave it open, go ahead and link them in my response to the sticky or article or whatever. Then leave it open. If anyone else wants to add on, go for it. But that way they get personalized responses, as well as have the article/sticky to refer too, as well. Give them options
