personally I hope youse guys will control the stickies and announcements, as it's an annoyance (albeit minor) on poorly maintained forums (not here of course) to have to click thru several pages of stickies to get to the actual forum messages. especially when "mark read" and "ignore" don't work on them. it might be less a burden to transfer them to your FAQs page after a suitable interval (e.g. 1 week).
