Makes sense Troy,
I have wondered about the logic behind stickys overall.
Too many stickies would get in the way of new posts.
Stickies are self propagating, getting more views and posts just
by being at the top.
A sticky about politics or religion or cost of petrol would fill Terry
and Mike's server in a day
Who decides what is a sticky?
Why is a thread about a commercial product (Argo Navis) a sticky?
Why isn't a thread about a cheap alternative in the DIY/ATM section
a sticky, for some balance? The Ek Box or similar PIC DSCs?
Why isn't Bird's Jupiter impact a sticky in Solar System? Nearly 400 posts and 22,000 views!

My Worm gear hobbing thread just went over 10,000 views in 12 months.
Not bad for an obscure ATM idea. There must be some readership on this
site into ATM/DIY eh?
I also think that other DIY improvements to commercial mounts
should be prominent...like the PE mods to the EQ6 threads etc.
The PhotoShop Tips as a sticky in Computers is a great example
of a well placed sticky...

Now that would make a good General chat topic....name your favourite
or memorable IceInSpace threads.
