I have noticed that there is a sticky in the Sheaths and Such subforum, where there is a list of sheath makers that are on Bladeforums. These makers all have paying memberships, and can show off their work.

My suggestion would be to copy that sticky into:
Wanted: Knifemaker / Craftsman / Related Services. There seem to be a lot of people that go looking for custom sheaths in that subforum, and the sticky could help streamline things.

I actually don't think it would be a bad idea to have a similar sticky for knife makers either.
 
That is a great idea although I don't believe it would work in the particular subforum. I say this because it is a private forum where only people that are makers/craftsman with the proper membership can see the threads posted. If stickys work the same way, the only people that would be able to see it are the other folks trying to get their name out there as well.

This subforum is where people showcase their work. Seems to be utilized more with scale makers and knife pimpers rather than actual custom made knives.

I think it would be great to add it as a sticky in the Custom & Handmade knives section. Maybe the Knife Makers Gallery as well.
 
I'm pretty certain that the stickies are viewable by all in that subforum. There's a sticky at the top that is meant for all to see. That said, I don't think everyone reads stickies :rolleyes:
 
Ah too bad. Rev was the author of that sticky, and it looks like it's meant for everyone to see.
 
That would be a nice thing, but a monumental PITA to maintain. I have a hard enough time trying to find dealers because they don't read the sticky's either, just a handful have contacted me, the rest of the dealers get added as I find them by accident posting on the forums. You'd think more people would want to be on a list like that. I mean, it's not like the sticky thread is hidden or requires a paid membership to see. I think it is better left where it is and let the folks that maintain it continue doing so. I can add a link to the various sticky and announcements if we need to.

I don't see a sticky in the Wanted Knifemaker / Craftsman / Related Services section, just one thread that I posted up in 2014.

That is most certainly true.;):D

There is a sticky there, but I am going to have to turn it into an announcement (gray threads at the top). That might catch more people's attention. Again, the problem is, the Exchange rules are in an announcement and people don't even bother reading those it seems. WHen they get a warning they have nuclear meltdown, and it's their own fault no less. It's not our fault people are in such a rush to sell their precious that they don't think to read something that says "READ ME!!! ATTENTION!!!"

What Rev said. With memberships fading in and out, that sticky changes enough to make a copy a hassle. A link is a great idea though.

One would think so, but they seem to get overlooked all the same. I'm thinking about changing the S&S announcement titles to "NAKED WOMEN PICS!" just so people will read 'em.
 
Slip in links to porn sites, and anyone who does go there will be telling all their friends. :D
