Quite strange the 6 or 7 other chat lounge threads are sticky but not this one (anymore). I’m confused. Lots of support reading through this thread.
That may be because they're older, bigger, more active, or simply forgotten about. ID use to have a chat lounge ages ago that was stickied and highly active. Then it became a dead thread and a few forum users got it unstickied to clear up space. Perhaps the same fate (being formerly active and dying off) hit them too.
In my experience, more then probably should. Sticky can be useful in a lot of situations (more so in the past then the present but ah well) but a lot of people want chat threads stickied. Never liked chat lounges being qualified for sticky automatically, didn't see practical outside really really popular ones (they'd run through the post limit to quick) but that didnt stop it in the past.
That said, just looking at the ID Forums I don't think a sticky would matter to this thread since its active enough to stay on page 1 almost indefinitely, probably wouldn't even drop to half way down the page and the sticky adhesive wouldn't actually do much to change this thread.
"When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself... first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time, as a great hero"
I'd love to see a white santa hat, especially if the style were unique compared to the black and red santa hats.
That seems unlikely. Far cheaper and just as effective to recolor the same hat and call it good. And when it comes to modern discontinued items, they are almost always from MTX team which is not particularly solid as unique new ideas when cheaper ones are.

Its really nice if it sticky. in the past if i discussed rare topics in the rare section mods referred to here but i could never find my way here. then i found out it got stickied on top making it easy to find. i really hope they could make this sticky for perm and when the thread is full make a new 1 and sticky it again. having these small talks about everything is really nice.
@Raphtalia6 makes a great point around having a central place to reference or visit. Could make F-Mod life a bit easier when pointing people to the Chat Lounge thread for chit chat/ general discussion.

I think the idea is to continue the momentum and support the posting activity here - sticky glue unquestionably helps, even if not significantly. Tuffty's comment (pasted below) seems to suggest to be a sticky, it should be an active thread. So the high level of activity should support the sticky rationale.
It also took 28 days for this thread to first be stickied, so this isn’t one of the automatic ones.
I liked how holly wreaths were introduced into the game. We knew how rare the item was and the process of trying to get one brought people together to work towards popping the cracker. Also loved the global announcement whenever someone won one. I think BSH was introduced in a similar fashion. A lot of fun, hopefully we'll see more of this type of activity!!
