The idea would be to bring attention to threads that are particularly useful and should be recognized as such.

One of the comments I often receive from new FTers is that there is a morass of information on here, but it is often buried. New FTers often wish there was some way to "jump" to the real good stuff.

One of the comments I often receive from old FTers is that there is a feeling that a lot of good old threads get lost in the shuffle. Old FTers often which there was some way to "save" great threads for posterity in a high-profile way.

How good is defined would be up to TB. How you decide whether a thread fits is also up to you.
