The sticky thread at the top of the Elections Forum has, I think, served its purpose: it was started in June of 2010, when the forum was a temporary experiment, and then re-named “Elections” in January of 2011.
As bup said a year ago: “I think we got this now. Maybe un-sticky it?”
Just a thought.
Let’s not rush into anything.
Hey, it’s still true…
Speaking of still-true things I’m going to go out on a limb here and make a prediction: “Obama wins it in 2012!” 
Sticky: The “About this Message Board” forum is now “Cats and Kittens”
To provide a serious response to the OP, I agree. After six years I think its purpose is not only served, but was probably well and truly served five years ago.
The text below Comments on Cecil’s Columns/Staff Reports reads “Say what you really think. Please, don’t gush. And for comments on Staff Reports (formerly called “Mailbag Answers”)”
How long has it been since it was called Mailbag Answers?
Since before the hamsters replaced the dinosaurs on treadmills that used to power the servers.
It’s gone! Thanks!
