Ok I see lots of themes or questions that kep being asked like would you want to be cured, do people with aspberders have empathy, whatever. I suppose this is a result as new memebers join. What does it take to make an issue become sticky so it isnt asked again and again and again?

A sticky is generally used for an important or active topic; they aren't permanent, and to sticky every common subject would result in the first several pages of a number of the subforums consisting of nothing but stickies. Answers change over time, as does the membership - I'm not sure what is wrong with a question being asked after some time... it's when there are five threads on the death of Michael Jackson or other such things that it becomes more of an issue. In that event, there are times when those threads are condensed into a single thread to allow a larger discussion.

Yes it would, the Haven is a good example, it's got many stickies, even that many is too many. I always viewed a sticky topic as something which was of extreme importance.
