Basically a sticky is a "Thread" that will remain at the top of the forum where it is posted by the "Administrators of the Forum". This functionality provides a constant place for a thread that will not move down and out of sight with the posting of new threads. Thus it "Sticks in Place" like a "Post-It-Note".
Stickies can contain any information that the "System or Forum Administrators"
deem necessary for the functionality of the forum.
A sticky in this situation would contain hyperlinks to "Pertinent Threads" that are constantly being asked and answered, repeatedly by other members of the forum. This will allow you to view one single thread for information before you go about searching for this information or asking about it in the forum, saving everyone time!
Hope this helps.
