Under that one, you could move the Gun rights flier thread, the where you can carry thread, the rep users guide thread, the members please use the right forums thread and the if you're new say hello thread. Then lock it up. No need for moderation except to occasionally add a thread or something.
I think it would be much more efficient than the haphazard smattering of stickies buried in five different sections, that we currently enjoy.
