I hafta say that I generally don't look for stickies unless I either know there's something there of interest or if I'm looking for info that may be common (ala the autocross FAQ in the Race and Competition forum). I voted no...

So now how reliable is the poll???
All of us who made a reply seem to think stickies is not a way to get a thread noticed, and yet 71.43% of the votes say "Yes; I pay attention to the stickies, best way to post upcoming events."

Sometimes I may go longer periods without coming to this site and if there is a notice on the front page I should see it.

I think the problem with stickey threads is there are no indications it has been modified, unless you look at the last poster (and realizing it is different that what you last saw as the last poster) and the date of the post.
Regular threads move up to the top when an update has occurred and the "unread" icon appear next to it (as long as you are logged in).
