Quote:How about "Unnecessary"? Since active threads get bumped, what would happen to a World Cup thread would depend on the interest the Lurkers have in it, just like any other topic. If there is a lot of interest, it will stay high, if there isn't, it will fade away. The Lurkers will vote where the thread belongs with their posts and their time.
I agree. We can trust Lurkers more than most forum-goers to keep everything in the relevent thread, which would be the main need for a World Cup sticky. We have 25 posts on the hockey playoffs thread so far without a sticky, and it has just now dropped off the front page. With the current pace of The Lounge, it would only take a moderate amount of interest to keep a World Cup thread on the front page throughout the competition.
Personally, I'm too interested in Shaq vs. Dirk to be thinking about soccer right now. Oh yeah, and somehow my Detroit Tigers have the best record in baseball?!? So I probably won't be watching much of the World Cup. But that's neither here nor there.
