As you know there's been enhancement packs released for Thief 1&2 in recent months ((
http://ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119405) Child of Karras' SFX pack, (
http://ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118999) Nameless Voice's object EP, (
http://ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119451) thief_gotcha's T2 texture pack). Since the Thief Fan Missions sub-forum is fairly active the respective threads of these enhancement projects get buried easily.
I thought that it would be good idea to have sticky thread in the Thief FM sub-forum linking to the enhancement packs' threads. I'm sure that this would be helpful to a lot of people, especially newbies.
EDIT:- Would be helpful if it also linked to T3 enhancements like John P.'s texture pack and Minimalist Project.
Thanks in advance.

I have a theory that sticky threads actually get less attention than threads in current shuffle. I have no scientific proof of this, but I have known several people to not notice a thread at all just because it had the all-cursing moniker of Important: before it, which is synonymous with old stuff that I already know about and only newbies need to read. I also tend to dislike an overabundance of the things, which always get top billing over the current conversations in spite of their static nature. Two or even three sticky threads is fine, but any more than that and it's a tower of stagnant monoliths.
Though I do agree that it would be nice if as many people as possible saw things like the EP, and the new TDP Unofficially Official Soundtrack. They should be worked into an existing sticky thread.

Well, the three threads linked to were added to the (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104762) Guide to Custom Resources for dromEd recently. It's one of the stickied threads, and can be found at the top of The Editor's Guild forum.
So they're always in reach to those looking for them :).

What's the likelihood that a newbie/random pedestrian, looking for some mods/FMs to play, would look through a resource thread designed for FM makers? The thread is even in a sub-forum called "Editor's Guild".

Rotate the colors on the sticky threads, that'll get their attention. Change it ohhhh say once a month.

I know I only read sticky threads when they have boobies in the title.
