I don't see an issue, but then again, I changed my view format to see 50 posts per page, simple solution. (Granted, I'm sure they can all use a little dusting.)
It'd just make it that much easier for folks to ignore.
Yeah, call me a cynic. *shrug* Some, though, I don't see a point to in this forum. How to get on the test server? That's over in test. "Villains, lets make a list!" is vague. EULA violations? Account scam?
I don't see it being that much of an annoyance. Never notice stickies much either.
And "Currently, the Suggestions and Ideas board has more stickies than any other forum." is wrong, here are some boards that have more:
<ul type="square">[*]Announcements![*]Developers Corner[*]Technical Issues and Bugs[*]Base Construction[*]Player Guides[*]Screenshots and Fan Art[/list]
Then there may be some server boards that have more but those I wouldn't count.

Yeah, the stickies in this forum are a bit ridiculous and in some cases redundant, in my opinion.
We don't need a "Signature Powers" thread + a "Custome Weapon Request" + "Power and Weapon Customization" + a "Power Suggestion" thread all sticked. At most, one of those should be stickied.
"Day Jobs" thread has run its course, in my opinion, and should no longer be stickied.
Only one of "More Zones for Villains" and "Villains! Lets make a list!" should be stickied
So, that gets rid of 5 of the stickies right there, making room for current suggestions on the front page.
I come asking a simple request of forum aesthetics.
Currently, the Suggestions and Ideas board has more stickies than any other forum. Chances are, when you logged onto this board, you saw this. An entire page view of just stickies (at my computer resolution, at least).
My suggestion is to un-sticky these ideas, let them fall along with other ideas, but make two new threads:
1. Official Suggestions Thread
-- This will be a thread linking to the big ones; Costume Suggestions, Power Suggestions, Day Jobs, Badges, etc. It will link to all of those different threads, and identify itself as being a thread for that purpose.
2. Ideas of Merit
-- This will be a thread linking to the good ideas that we see up there. Signature powers, probation/duress, how to search, etc. Think of it as a sort of 'Developer's Choice' of the S&I forums.
Why do I request this?
Because the stickies are overwhelming. From the viewpoint of a new person trying to get a feel for the forums before posting, he's got all of these many topics to look and read through. It's too much! Adding a bit of brevity to the official statements and stickied ideas would be a BIG help to clean things up.
