Can a mod please clean up the mage stickies?

It's getting out of control. Most of them are old and they take up a huge percent of the page. There are sticky topics literally from more than a year ago.

I'm not sure it is as bad as you describe, but maybe you are browsing on mobile instead of desktop. I do agree that a few need to be un-stickied.

Sticky: Nelfy's Arcane Mage PvE Guide 7.1.5
Sticky: [Mage] Legion Help my Gear / DPS thread
Sticky: Fire Legion Megathread

^ as examples. New threads can be stickied for current content.

I took a gander at the other class boards, and Priest/Warlock have the right idea IMO for 2018 mobile-friendly purposes:

https://www.mmo-champion.com/forums/277-Warlock

In short:

-One single index&resources thread covering everything, no read before posting stickied either, put it in the index. One chunk of the topic with links to popular long-term threads here on the Mage board. The other chunk about linking to external resources

-Honestly anything else feels unnecessary and not meriting anything beyond being in the index thread. Maybe this is too spartan, but I think it's the way to go. A couple of boards sticky the xmog thread but meh.

-Mage Xmog and Mage solo threads should be in the index too. Nothing else jumps to mind (iirc there's no uldir tips/tricks or anything), but anything else that gets constant discussion and worth highlighting. Obviously this will come with some upkeep but nothing too bad. Less upkeep than before and far more streamlined.

It's a radical change with the index thing but 2 other class boards are already doing it and times have changed. Great for the mobile users.

Just my two cents
