Request for Baronius post to be stickied, Improved Anvil and BG2 Fixpack Options

[Ymarsakar]

I found his post to be a useful explanation of the arguments, so to speak, and I would like to see his post stickied/pinned.

Well, I don't agree with pinning that thread, because it is not (mainly) about IA and there is no need for it to be pinned in IA's forum. Even the first poster had not even asked about the fixpack's compatibility with IA (as it is already mentioned in IA's readmes). It was mainly about *why* BG2 fixpack is a bugged mod and why it's not recommended and I answered to both questions.

However, since IA is also mentioned several times in that thread, I don't agree with moving that topic to another forum either. It will remain in IA's forum but will not be pinned.

My suggestion is that if Baronius has the time and interest, it's better that that he writes a comprehensive article about his theoretical points (including my warnings about the dangers of the sort of attitude which mistakes players for testers and will cause a mod to remain bugged forever and even after its 100th version) and uploads the article in the site's page of articles along with a link in an announcment Black Wyrm Community News .

If Baronius wants to write that article, I can give him more theoretical details about the very serious and bad consequences of the sort of mentality which makes a modder or a team of modders think that they don't need to test their mod (let alone a fixpack) before releasing it for public download.
