A "sticky" thread is an important or popular thread that is permanently "stuck" to the top of the page. It actually says "sticky" next to it. So, no matter what page of the forum you're on, the sticky threads for that forum will be there at the top.

For example, the Bream forum has several "sticky" threads: one on big fish, one on posting pics, one on rods and a couple on favorite baits or lures. If you're on page 1 of the Bream forum you will see those sticky threads at the top of the page. If you go to page 8 of the Bream forum, those same sticky threads will be at the top of that page.
