I recall that there was a compalint that ALL the stickies were taking up too much of the main page and were being regulated to the specific forums page.
It's one of those "Can't please everyone" situations.
In a perfect world each of us could pick the libraryies we want to see on the main page, set the number of articles, toggle stickies or not . . . But that would put MORE load on the database and slow everything down again.
