Unmoderated celebration! And you have already locked the thread!
Now tell us plz, how do we celebrate?

Oh...OK.
I have got your CST wrong!
Sorry!

But, I feel, just throw it open now. It feels like school children waiting for the final bell!
(I have a lot of abusing lined up!   )

Kban,
I suggest - you make it "non sticky" when u open it...
Reason is, many have ingrained the habit of skipping past the sticky thread and looking at the middle of the screen. Just make it non-sticky, and let it rise to the top with attention.

Hmm....you mean sticky threads get instantly ignored?
Food for thought for the mods!
But atleast they stay ignored. Other threads just vanish into the yonder beyond!

Ignored may not be the word...more like a lot of regulars (i think) have the habit of looking at the "active thread" area, and the active thread area is mentally trained to be the area where non-sticky threads are.

Nicely put! The bold formatted portion is rather interesting.
Now we are training the threads too instead of ourselves .
Finey, beware! GC's pracesses are dangerous!

I agree with Fineleg. I have this habit of not looking at the sticky threads. I saw the celebration thread only when Jaat started this thread and then I started a look for it.

Sticky threads are like the reference section of a library.
I feel!

Same here, I did not see the celebration thread till jaat started this.

I notice this habit with many members.

I believe the usage of sticky thread can be as follows:
After a thread's 'initial' active life is over, for archive purposes - certain reference threads like VIDEO urls etc etc should be made sticky for easy future access and additions to the thread.

Its high time, we introduce audio-effects, so that we can effectively 'convey' our feelings across!
