Purpose:
The purpose of this thread is to secure one sticky thread that we have more control over to add good information to. We have 3 stickys up top and that is already more than Admin is comfortable with, so I thought I would start this and if it catches on we could request the other stickies be taken down with this in it's place.
Folks coming to our forum would have one stop for all of the pertinent threads, and this way we can add to it without requesting it from what is probably an already overrun administration staff here at Alla.
That being said, here's what I see as being our best threads, if I'm missing some or you would like some added for informative purposes, let me know either in this thread or a PM.
