^ Nobody reads sticky index threads as it is.
If you titled it,
Direct links to popular threads
it would get used.
Like spud wanting another thread stickied, it was commented that it would add to the clutter in the stickies. I would venture the guys here would use it. Once new members get that it is quicker to find popular threads they would read and use it too. And slip in a link to "Da Rules".
It's just a way to reduce stickie clutter.
