What's with the Sticky?

Well?

I saw the post on GQ being sticky, but why are you guys prefacing every SDMB notification with that particular word?

I feel like I missed something major here, like the Hi, Opal thing!:confused:

Quasi:)

That word is added automatically by the software when you โ€œpinโ€ a thread (or, in vBulletin terms, when you make it a โ€œstickyโ€ thread.")

And for the official unofficial answer, check this thread.
