I am sorry but the threads can be stuck only by administrators, and the moderators who have been given the tool and permission by the admins, which is the system with any moderated board, not just this board.
Basically, threads are stuck taking into account their importance in finding basic info for weight loss surgery, and also whether needed for the board to run smoothly.
Too many stuck threads, and they will crowd out the "regular program" from the index page.
A lot of the threads that have useful info are linked in to the Links to threads with useful info that you can't remember where they were thread in Coffe Talk.
If there is info that you feel will be of use to others as well, that includes basic information about WLS, and have put up a thread, please PM me, and I will check it out, and will included it in the thread mentioned above if the information is pertinant.

Other than that, if you have some subject that you would like to see a broad range of discussion, posting them in forums that are relevant to the subject of the forum, other than Coffee Talk, gets a longer time span of attention, as the number of threads going up elsewhere is smaller.
Incidentally, if you start a thread in News Please Read, it will be moved to other forums, as this particular forum is the place for the admins and mods to post news concerning the board.

If you have a thread that you want others to see, one way to keep the thread going is to "BUMP" it up yourself ever so often.

Hope this helps.
