The sticky feature, when enabled, the mods use for forum rules and mod rulings. Things like the "On Spoilers" thread would be probably be stickied if they could be. ATTN: (inserttrollnamehere) would be stickied for a short time, but help with specific quests realy couldn`t be stickied; because where would we stop ??
In the roleplaying forum, there used to be a sticky thread with a listing of all IW clans, but it would not be logical to sticky, say, the HADB Clan current thread; same thing with specific quests here.
Some things can happen, but logically shouldn`t-stickying quest help is among them.

I say that there should be a sticky thread on Kangaxx, Firkragg, Imprisonment, the gems you need in ToB, the Twisted Rune, Celestial Fury, links to stronghold and romance questions, and Dundee's sig. Let's call these the
primary topics. Anything else can be posted, no? If your theory is correct, it implies that people will come up with new parts to be stuck on because I just now listed the common problems.. If all of a sudden there are new problems not covered in the sticky thread, and so many get posted we want to make THEM sticky, we now have secondary topics. Where in the Nine Hells would they come from? If they're not so common they're part of the primary topics, then did people suddenly get stupider and get stuck on easier things?
And to take that a step FURTHER, that after we solve the secondary set of problems in a sticky thread, now we'll need
TERTIARY topics! These topics must be things we rarely get (partially because we get so many Kangaxx questions) now, so people are now getting stuck on easier and easier things, becoming stupider and stupider.. Wow, I feel so powerful! We can actually lower the average intelligence in the human gene pool!
I see what you're saying, though.. That the secondary and even tertiary topics are out there.. just watered-down in primary topics.. So the solution is... um.. Link to a micromanaging walkthrough and just bullshit about chars and such? I dunno.. My head hurts from all this thinking. I need to go lie down and have some elverquiist.
