Note
A moderator's verb made from the adjective: to sticky a thread is to pin it at the top of a forum's list so it stays in view. The y stays before -ing, as in carrying, so the spelling is never stickiing. It works as a participle (she is stickying the rules) and as a gerund (stickying keeps notices visible), and it always takes an object: you sticky something, usually a post or thread.
