First off... I am only one of TWO co-moderators here, IZWack is the other. He may have some ideas of his own... but what I plan to do in regards to "Stickies" (those threads that are at the top of the list all the time -they do not move down as they age and fall into the ooze of more threads and get forgotten) is this. If something seems of general interest, or "hot" I will give it "sticky status". Once the interest falls off (as measured by fewer and fewer numbers of people accessing that thread,) it will get unstickied.
Let me give you an example. Between 12-1-2005 and today nearly 2000 people have looked at the 4X4 Shift Motor Rebuild Diary. It is very popular, and will remain stickied a long time in all liklihood. In contrast, there was a thread on A4LD loaner tools. A total of 60 folks looked at that one, so, it had its day in the sun, and is unstickied. Other threads have also been unstickied for the same reason.
You may note this forum has more stickies than other ones, but that grouping will change over time. In some cases I have stickied things that are also in the Useful Threads Forum. Why? Because a lot of folks do not know to look there and come here first. [As the Useful Threads builds up I am going to suggest to Rick maybe the Useful threads needs further refinement by category...]
So that's the plan. If you think something ought to be stickied a while, let me know. I'm pretty amenable, I just watch the interest and act accordingly once it is stickied.
