Forum features, What do you think?

[Reckless Rat]

I don't know whether this particular host allows it, but some other forums have the facility to "make sticky" a popular thread so it doesn't disappear off the front page if there's no activity on it for a while. It (or they) will always remain on show, above all other threads. One way of achieving that here would be to move it to the "important threads" section.
