Why there is still old sticky with old links, when we have new

Not really. There's several reasons why using the Big Sticky that gets passed around is sorta a bad idea

>stickies need to be digestible. If this were the new sticky it'd be the longest on the site by a country mile. You can only justify telling someone to "read the sticky" when it's not a book unto itself. The sticky needs to be primer for the board, the basics, and the common sense. Everything else that can be learned from /ic/ and its community should be done by lurking moar. A sticky that replaces the need to lurk moar is poor idea, it removes the need for /ic/ as a reference itself. If people find the doc by lurking moar already then it's already doing its job.

>This goes way outside the scope of an /ic/ sticky. It's also incomplete. There are a lot of things talked about that don't need to be required reading. How to get popular on certain websites, good youtube channels, etc. That's not really the place of 4chan moderation to officially endorse or sanction as a sticky.

>The Big Sticky is a working document that's still incomplete in places. if it's stickied as is then it's either subject to change (which isn't good for a static sticky) or it'll remain as a static version (which isn't good for a WIP). All this is to say that if people stopped deluding themselves into thinking this will replace the sticky they could expand its scope more and improve it even moreso. Not as something that newbies need to read but something that's handy for any /ic/ member.

The current sticky needs an overhaul but this "bigger is better" approach is not the way to do it.

That is why I suggested not to get rid of old sticky, but add link to bigger one in old sticky post.

But you are probably right, after all.

They can find the beginner thread. There's a catalog. We're all big kids here. Technically.
