Brent, apparently some users are under the impression that stickies are generated automatically via some algorithm, and they think that if a mod posts something and stickies it, that they are pretending that "their" content is more important. Which I can see.

Except... that's not true. All stickies are manual decisions by the mods. All of them.

BTW, when I sticky something of mine, it's USUALLY a post that was seriously on Q or seriously breaking news and was doing super-well over at PW. That's on you guys. Get to work, frogs! We have a reputation to maintain! WE ARE TEH NEWS! THIS POST HAD OVER 1000 UPDOOTS ON PW BEFORE I FOUND IT AND SCRAPED IT OVER HERE! That's embarrassing to me as lead mod here, c'mon, guys! LET'S GOOOO
