What stickies do we need?

Evil Phil

Right, so from my experinces on Outdoor Pursuits there are two stickies that would probably be a good idea.

1. How to start out in Canoeing & Kayaking.
This was probably the most common thread over on OP so it I think it would be a good one here.

2. Useful Links and Resources
Pretty self explanitory really.

What do you guys think? Anything else that we should include?

I think that is enough to start with and as the forum grows and it's direction naturally becomes clearer , then it can be modified as needs be.Thanks for the effort that you are putting in .

That's all I can think of! I'm sure there are other useful sites out there though. I may type up a "how to start Canoeing/Kayaking" post later if I have time!

If it catches on, you could put the ''What I paddled today'' Thread as a sticky . . .???

The ''Post Info of Events Here'' thread could go up as well, although there may be too many then . . .?

Just an events calendar and leave people start an individual thread to the race or competition if there is interest.

I would suggest a "what I intend to paddle next weekend" sticky as it would help people meet up.

I think the postinfo of events here needs to stay imo

I think we could have some Equipment manufacturer website links for the sticky, so people can see what new equipment is available and up coming.

Here are some:
www.pyranha.com
www.jacksonkayak.com
www.peakuk.com
www.palmequipmenteurope.com

And some International review sites:
playak.com
www.kayaksession.com

despite what i said earlier, i dont think its used enough, and its really only taking up space, so maybe it doesnt need to be there . . .

its a new forum. none of it is used enough yet. it will take time. i like the idea of a "what i paddled" as well as a "what i will be paddling" thread being sticky.

It does seem to be getting some traffic, I'm going to leave it stickied for now.

Maybe refs to some of the other sites out there - and by the way - congrats on getting this set up

Not sure about the other counties.

Des has a good number of link on the Deep Blue site - so referencing him and shearwater should be more than sufficient.
