You unpinned things? Eight hours ago 4 items were pinned. Now, 3 are. It seems you are swimming against the stream ;-)
I think we were better off when things couldn't be pinned by members. Now there seems to be an ego war for what goes at the top. Pretty soon we'll have an entire page of pinned threads. The pinning doesn't fix the thing that is wrong with GG, i.e., how to find important topics. In an ideal world, everyone could pin their own favorite thread, and it would be pinned ONLY in their own feed.
