With things in the ME going to a higher level....a <i>sticky</i> might be in order to keep the Hangout Forum from being swamped.
But there are so many facets to the subject that I don't know if it can be managed in a single thread. Maybe it needs its own forum.
we either need a sticky or a war forum. a couple of message boards i visit have already created 'war forums'
So far I think the sticky is working out pretty good. A few extra threads have been started for breaking news type stuff but they sort peter out as the news becomes old. It may be different if attacks pick up but so far it hasn't been a problem. CK
