What happened to the Sticky Threads ?

There's a 'Pinned Discussion' (new name?) showing at the top of the 'Email' forum so the feature still seems to exist. Some of the previous sticky posts were pretty old though and would benefit from a refresh/update before they are reactivated IMHO to make sure they are still current and relevant.

If they do make a comeback, the new single line title-only showing is a much better way of presenting them IMO. The previous way of showing the introductory text for each article meant scrolling though the same text at the top of each forum page on each visit to that page which was very cumbersome.
