i think a beysus sticky official thread in the music news section will be great because she has too much news.

I know you're a stan and all, but I doubt that the thread would need to be stickied, since, as you pointed out, "she has too much news". It will be constantly bumped, so why sticky it?
This concept could go for all important official threads, too.

I think the moderators will decide how to deal with it as it happens. When somebody posts a new thread about one of our most popular artists, the mods will know whether the story is important enough to make it the new "de facto" discussion place. If so, they'll close the old threads about that artist. If not, they'll just merge the new thread into the existing one. Got it, mods? Sounds good?

People like this make the official threads sound like a horrible idea ![Mazen](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/19971843.gif)

Ew, can we just go back to official threads the way it use to be. The server story is not that serious, it was worse before the upgrade.
Mods were the ones who started official threads "too keep spamming of artist topics". This is so un-fair. ![sad](images/smilies/images/smilies/sad.gif)

Tierra, I really try to cooperate with you, but sometimes I just don't get you. What's the difference to you if a thread has been opened for, say, 3 weeks or 3 months? It still serves the same exact purpose to the members.

I changed my mind. We should KEEP the Groups section. If you feel the need for an official artist thread, GO JOIN A FORUM DEDICATED TO THAT ARTIST. There is nothing wrong with NEWSWORTHY items about certain artists, but little tidbits that don't mean much to anybody can be found at artist fansites. GO THERE.
ATRL is not dedicated to one, two, or three individual artists. It's about pop culture in general. I think this is a logical reasoning.

It just feels weird and not the same. The clutter will come back as well, there will be like 4 100 posts topics on the artists anyway, it'll just look messy.
If people arent' posting now, they sure as heck aren't gonna post later. NO, there isn't much news going on EVERY SINGLE DAY, but there's "Discussion" that goes on about chart positions, next singles, favorite songs on the album, etc.

Keep Em! I think people miss the random confrontations in this "official" threads.... The Britney stan drive-bys...The Beyonce and Mariah graphics... Christina Aguilera's mouth... Ciara comparisons ... so on... so forth.
BTW,
ATRL seriously almost has 1000 active members?

Holy crap! HOW DID I MISS THIS NUGGET OF STUPID?
The reason you don't like groups is because posts aren't counted in them? Are you serious?

Well said. Tiearra is just mad because without an "Official" Ciara thread, no one will look at/care for Ciara's latest charting on the iTunes charts. Is Cisus top 90 yet, Tiearra?
