Isn't that what I said? Or did you mean a separate forum of stickies?
I've seen other forums that when they have too many stickies, then make a single sticky that has links to all of the other stickies.. Like everything besides the posting of rules could go into a single "Stickies" sticky that's just a list of links to the stickies.
Some forums seem to have the ability to have a separate list for announcements and stuff that's not part of the list of posts, but I'm guessing that that's not part of the WP programming.
I was gonna ask if Lau, God Of Firefox, knew of a plug-in that would do what Fiddler is asking (since most things that I've asked about have had a plug-in solution,) but that's probably not gonna work on a mobile device.. (depending on the mobile device, I guess.. But I'm thinking that she means something more along the lines of phone than a netbook..)
that is easily done by making one sticky at the top of the list and putting all the other stickies in that thread. Good idea, Maggiedoll. I will try it on this discussion list, first.
Oops.. and I messed up the opening quote but if I fix my post it'll still be quoted wrong in yours.
Wasn't my idea, though.. just seen it done on other forums where there got to be too long a list of stickies. It's that information-age problem of always wanting to bookmark and sort everything, then ending up with too many bookmarks to be able to find things!
There's a rather cool Firefox plug-in called Wired-Marker that helps with that, where you can highlight things in various different colors and then the highlighted bits work like bookmarks in folders of the colors (and you can re-name the colors into folder names, too..) That eventually gets to the same problem of wanting to remember everything, though.

that sounds like an organizer's dream! Maggiedoll. It sounds like the perfect solution for any forum. I have often thought that what WP needs is a good searchable index.
I am in a recovery group for 'wanting to remember anything' disorder.

I'm in the same group, well I think I am, I've forgotten. I'm supposed to go to meetings each week but have forgotten where they are held. Not that it matters because I forget to go anyway.
