BanditKeith2: I'm pretty sure why they often aren't stickied is how often users say seriously that they never notice and never see the stickied thread but see the none stickied threads .. in fact that used to quite a common statement you'd see iether in the stickied threads or see in other random threads complaining about not noticing it despite many of them you;d see posting messages in regular general discussion threads ..
ssling: Often? I think this is first such case in many months, even at the moment there is another delisting stickied, which clearly seems like a mistake (maybe because the person who usually does that sort of things is unavailable).
And yes, I'm certainly one of those users who subconsciously filter out stickies while looking at the topic list.
I still see the comments commonly enough .. if not in the stickied threads then elsewhere on the forums
But ya its still common enough to see when delisting's threads happen and shortly after a delisting people saying it even
I'm also sure I seen this thread stickied early but after someone complained about not seeing it from being stickied it was desticked.. but I could be mistaken on that especially as I had popped in when tired seeing the threads
Regardless I do believe these kinds of threads need sticked and some of the long standing stickied threads need desticked
