Put me in the camp that firmly believes vaguely useful "stickies" often un-necessarily clutter forums, displacing current and useful threads off the front pages. 
There are some superb 'stickies' on many forums that are well worth taking the top spots from current threads, and there is this one that in 7 months has attracted just ONE post.
So to be honest I do not see it warrants being called:
The all encompassing HH Sticky Thread with Lots of Good Info
Any chance it could be un-stickied, as clearly it has not worked, as there is next to NO info here - good or otherwise?
The idea I am sure was good and well meaning, but it clearly it did not work. Just as a normal thread vanishes if no-one posts on it, surely so should this?

Isn't this just a pointless "sticky" cutting into space for threads that are of interest and attracting lots of posts and input?
Re-naming it the "HH Sticky Thread" seeems rather Monty Pythonesque.
Nothing personal, and the idea was good, but as mentioned, "stickies" usually have a clear purpose, and are heavy on valuable content, justifying their existence. If not, lets read the active and info packed curent threads.
In 8 months one post seems to speak volumes.

This sticky is at the same time the most useless and therefore the funniest I have seen so far .

I think it's very interesting that no one who complained about this being a useless sticky bothered to PM or email me to say it may have outlived usefulness, and instead chose to make snide comments here.
- KathyWdrf's thread on the various ways to earn points was helpful for quite a while but as it's not current any longer I'm going to unsticky the thread.
And I think that 3 stickies hardly serves to clutter up the forum the way it's been implied here...
