Sticky Topic "About 6 Gen Ipods, 120GB Ipods, and Ipod Classics"
Serenity:
I'm agreeing with the Admins on this one. I don't post often (probably because I use the search option), but I myself will ignore stickies if it doesn't look like they pertain to my current, very specific question.
Unless you sticky a topic which reads in bold caps: "NO, YOUR IPOD IS NOT SUPPORTED", nobody will look. In fact, even then they'll probably assume they're the exception to the rule. I work in customer service, and hear often, "I know your policy is this, but...."
Your best bet is to ignore the posts and encourage other casual users like me to run interference. Or is that just a different can of worms?
vsl2005:
Along the lines of what Serenity posted, how about the sticky subject that says "6 Gen Ipods, 120GB Ipods, and Ipod Classics are NOT SUPPORTED" or "No currently manufactured Ipods are supported" with SOAP's message on the click through.
Like I said, just a thought. Sorry to belabor this issue. Please feel free to lock the thread.

Having that message on the frontpage doesn't seem to do anything, I don't see why having a sticky would be any different.

Not to mention that the very first sentence of the installation chapter of the iPod manual says, "Note: Rockbox presently runs only on the 5th and 5.5th generation Ipod videos. Rockbox does not run on the newer, 6th/Classic generation Ipod."
MarcGuay:
The problem is that people don't do any research before asking questions, not that the information isn't plastered all over the place. Maybe we should have a sticky that says "PLEASE READ THE STICKIES". After a while it just becomes ridiculous.
