Default Is there any way to ignore giant stickies?

Yeah I know I'm a mod but even I cant bypass that giant time consuming beast. This may be a better topic for the feedback forum but as its here I am curious to know if it bothers anyone else.
It may just be my connection but it trips up the load every time and it takes ages to pass.
Feel free to delete this thread once you guys come to your senses and unstick it!
Surey one of you guys who is VAG COM bent could just carry a link or two in your sigs instead of leaving this (currently above) leviathon in the middle of a crossroads.

Users ask for sticky VAG thread on Q5 forum - I merge few threads about VAG and make sticky.

maybe you are not getting the same view as me. Maybe you are not getting Q5 forum loading delay due to giant threads.
I am using hybrid mode.
thread start time descending from the beginning.
30 per page.
To me it looks like someone want a VAG sticky on top but its making the page about 10 times longer. I see repeats all down the page. It currently takes 16 seconds to load, normally pops up so quick I could not even count.
I am merely suggesting that if you or someone else thinks we need to see this all the time then why not adapt a policy like I have and tag it to your sig then every time you reply or post we get another easy route to vag info we may want. At the moment its just a nuisance. There are thousands of page loads every day but probably only about one person would actually visit the thread... if even.

Come on tell me this isnt rediculous! Thats at 20% zoom and I can only see one thread, well actually you can just make out the start of this thread at the bottom. Viewed at 100% its like encyclopaedic.

I see your problem .....
Let me replay on your post letter today, when I get to my PC, not from my iTouch.
But biggest part of you problem - using old view of this forum.

Edit from PC.
I have no intend to tech you how to use this forum, or tell you that that your way is view is wrong and my is right. I just show you two attachment - how I view this forum when I open my browser.
Pic1 - View of all topics in Q5 forum
Pic2 - View of one specific topic.

I will be mad too if I have his view on my PC.

well it would normally look more like this. I prefer it for quick refs.
