why were regional & other discussion threads stickied on one index page :?: :scratch:

I am normally on the India thread. this change makes it harder for people looking for help to find this thread if we dont have it in the open.

if you click here, you will see all threads you have posted in so they are never lost:

also, you can go to the index thread to find it. i explained in the India discussion thread as to why i unstickied it:

i wanted some consistency with having all similar discussion threads either stickied or unstickied. also, the stickies and announcement obscure part of the page where most discussion happens so we use them sparingly and periodically review the stickies in each forum.

but most important of all - members tend to ignore stickies whereas regular threads get more attention. stickying threads makes them sort of "disappear" except to people who have already posted in them. it's a weird thing.

i used the word "regional" in case any discussion threads arise that are not country-specific.
