Guys - thanks for your comments.
Sticky threads are there to ensure that certain things are brought to the attention of all users, new or old. At present Personal Information, DeeperBlue.net Tee's, Sweats, Mugs and more! and Audrey Mestre Tragedy Discussions are currently sticky in this forum. The only one that isn't really necessary is the Tee's, Sweats, etc... thread.
The Personal Information thread is there to introduce you to people and as SASpearo said we were going to initially introduce them into your profiles. However a new version of the forum software is on the way and we will expand Profiles when we upgrade.
The Audrey Thread is still extremely important as the LawSuit is still pending and our policy still stands on no open discussions. Mentors are under rules to remove all posts and threads around it.
We are constantly reviewing the various parts of the site for improvements and hear what you are saying but they do fufil an important function for the time being.
On the positive side, at least you are coming here often enough for it to be an issue
