"Sticky Thread"

We know that a thread is a series of messages posted by forum members which are woven together under one title. What about sticky thread? A sticky thread is a thread that continually appears at the top of a forum. Think of it as a note that contains an important task that you may have "stuck" on your desk or refrigerator. Sticky threads provide important rules or warnings about the forum topic. Examples might be a topical FAQ, rules for posting, or a news item relevant to the forum.
