The essential problem is that having too many stickies is akin to having no stickies at all. The bottom line is that if members are posting in a thread, it's going to remain quite high on the list in any case.

My comments are addressed generally - not directly to Issy .... (but, of course, include Issy 
)
First off, I want to applaud the existence of this thread
. Too often in the past a change has been administered with no explanation or concomitant thread in the same sub forum for comment. Thank you to the mods who realised that communication is essential to the pleasant administration of a forum.
RE the Kobo Discounts thread, my reasons for it remaining stickied include:
- it still has 'live' coupons for open use in the first post, and other coupons are somewhat consistently posted, 50% codes for example.
- deals are still posted with regularity
- the browse factor - that is - the Discounts thread can be easily located in the stickies. Members who are not subscribers to the thread may choose to look in to see what's happening, and can readily find the thread. I do that with other 'stickied' threads that I do not want to subscribe to, but from time to time I do drop in and browse the deals and general chit chat (and I'm surely not alone in that!)
- members new to Kobo and/or new to the idea that there is a Kobo Discounts thread are easily able to find it amongst the 'stickies'.
Edit (again!)
As a by the way, I have no problems with the volume of 'stickied' threads, and wonder why the removal of two threads makes a difference?
