After seeing the word "sticky" a lot, and wondering what it means, regarding thread types, etc., I did a search on the FAQs, for that word. However, I got no results, and am therefore asking that brief question here:

What's meant by a "sticky" thread, versus a "normal" thread?

Sticky:

A "sticky" thread is one that is placed permanently at the top of a forum / category. Even if no one posts in it, it will still show up on the first page. This is often done for special announcements, rules / guidelines, and FAQs.

When I first became a member I thought that sticky was a poster!
