Featured Threads are listed based on how useful they can be and if they're still relevant. So nothing ancient or stuff mods just featured for shits and giggles. Featured threads can be removed and readded again based on their relevance at the time.

P.S. We only add threads here that can be kept up with active participation from the community at any time and don't center around a single person. So all the mod AMAs or featured drawing threads won't be listed, as those can't be kept up without input from the OP and therefore risk inactivity at random intervals.

Should the politics and gamergate generals go here?

The Spoiler Cleaning thread was unstickied and locked months ago. It was decided that the Image Cleaning thread is too large to warrant splitting into separate threads dedicated to spoiler tags.

Sticky thread may refer to:
A prioritized sticky thread or pinned thread in Internet forums
A track in the Gorilla Manor album by the indie rock band Local Natives
A thin material known for its stickiness such as spider silk
