Tbh, if everybody thinks like that, this forum would be one big chaos.
Not to mention why do mods/admins/patchou/etc make stickies in the first place then? Why are there half-stickies...
Be sure that sticky thread ARE read by many people (and that includes new people). Of course not everybody (as in 100%) will read them, but if they prevent 1 out of 10 new threads, than they are usefull..
If every forum and its members think like that then of course nobody will get used to the term "sticky" and "important posts".
PS: And why do you think many people ask the same question over and over again. It is not only because they don't bother to search, but the factor of constantly useless threads pushing down the interesting threads in the latest post pages is also a big factor; Everything is connected with eachother.
your forgeting, we're not talking about everybody, we're talking about people that don't search, don't read other posts, and just go striaght to posting a new thread and asking for it, stickys won't make a difference, because if they went to the proper forum, were the sticky would be located, there is most likly already another thread there asking for plus!live, if they don't read that thread, what make you so sure they would read a sticky
