Most of the Forums on Wrong Planet have 'STICKY' discussion topics. The 'STICKY' designated topics can provide insights into what topics are usually timely.

Enclosed are six examples of 'STICKY' discussion topics that most piqued my interest. Any 'STICKY' discussion topics which might need additional mentions?

* The 'Gettting To Know Each Other' Forum: Questions About You.
* In 'The Haven' Forum: Say Something Positive About Yourself. AND the 'Sticky' titled, Rants.
* In the 'Social Skills & Making Friends' Forum: Regional Meetup Groups.
* In the 'Art, Writing, and Music' Forum: Display Your Artwork.
* In the 'Random Discussion' Forum: Unpopular WP Members Club.

most of them are a billion years old and the mods really don't have any way to prune old stickies or make new ones.

i don't really know why they're still up.

On 'STICKY' topics, the first dozen posts, and the latest dozen posts yields the gist of a topic.

Many 'STICKY' topics contain several thousands of posts. Again, with topic usually timely in content, it can be difficult to make editing / pruning decisions.

I think some of them, despite being old and rarely used, are worth keeping in place.
The "communication differences" thread in the Haven was pretty eye opening for me, and I'm really glad that I found it.
