If you don't want feedback why bother having a forum for it? Will this thread last and be replied to or ignored and closed like the last? Place your bets now!.
As a paying trade advertiser I'm concerned that the site is going down the toilet, as our fees go up, and issues like this are not helping my view that PH is massively losing its way.

Every now and again someone from PH management replies saying "yes, it's a problem, we'll look into it" and then does nothing all about it, instead trying to milk every last penny of monetisation out of the site at the expense of the user experience.
I guarantee nothing at all will come of this thread either.

Sorry fo the lack of input on the previous comments ... It is something that we are aware of and have had several conversations about the best way to spread these promoted threads out, as we agree they are domineering the index.
The idea that we are leaning towards is having them spread over the first three pages on a rotation basis.
As with anything though this will require dev time that needs to be allocated to this if and when approved.

Hi Mark,
By no means are we "doing nothing about it". The simple fact is that we have a long list of things that the dev team are working on, and as with all things in life there are some things which take priority over others. In this instance, whilst it is slightly irritating having to click a single button to skip to the next page is hardly a tortuous endeavor and could in fact be described as a "first world problem". As such, other things have been prioritised.
As Ollie previously mentioned, we're working towards having the stickies spread over the first few pages of the forums, so as to lessen the impact of the stickies, which I agree are currently dominating the first page.
However, I'd like to temper this by pointing out that having more sticky threads is hardly a sign of the impending downfall of PH like you claim. In fact, it is more a sign that there are more and more topics that are either sponsored or deemed important enough to remain at the top of a very busy, popular and successful forum.
Lastly, we do appreciate feedback on the website... But we don't appreciate your increasingly aggressive tone, so please either keep the feedback helpful and constructive or don't give any at all.
best wishes
