Stickies - used too often. A discussion forum is a discussion forum - if the stickies fill the entire screen before the ongoing discussion can be seen - it just gets in the way.
Reference material should be stored and maintained in a different location - main website or a main wiki that runs alongside the forum. I had a wiki set up at one time.
If anyone is an expert with wordpress - this is where this stuff should go. Let me know and I'll set it up...
The right tool should be applied to the task at hand.
