Yep. Too many stickies are the same as no stickies at all, for one thing. They'll never catch your eye and if you have to go looking for one, well, why not look in the main body of the forum.
And more importantly from an administrative point of view, stickies should be reserved for help for newbies before they go off the deep end and for news, information and warnings to the membership in general, as an alert to a policy change or other news of high and/or immediate importance.
As it is now, there could be a sticky called "Read this or you will be banned" and I easily might never see it in the morass of deal threads. Just as one example, I think the sticky about affiliate posts might never be seen by newbies now and that's a little hard on them. It was fine the way it was before, when it was as visible as a sticky should be and newbies overlooked it at their own peril.
