You are mentioning at least 13 different sticky threads which would have to be locked and maintained by the moderators. To allow the general membership to post in them would result in the same problem you profess to be trying to fix. Before you know it people will be talking about cartoons or their favorite movies. This is human nature and not really anyone's fault but the topics would drift.

Then these threads will really provide no useful information. The only true way to provide the hierarchy you want would be to provide 13 new forums and require the moderators to again, test, review and study each hack that is released to the public and make sure that it is categorized properly.

Then what about the hacks that are covered by multiple categories? Are we supposed to make a copy in each forum and split the support between them so that one thread gets ignored over the other?

How much support is the staff supposed to provide for un-supported code modifications?
