Yes, I think the point of having a Stickied Bug/Issue Thread is to help the devs and the people who are providing useful feedback and logs/saves etc. It will not magically make everyone look at the thread, but you could argue that the people who are going to the trouble of posting useful files and feedback and worth supporting. So even if others don't look, they aren't reading most of the important threads and aren't helping the devs as much anyway.
Not many threads are read by everyone anyway, so to focus too much on the fact that a lot of people won't read it, is perhaps not the most beneficial for the Elemental devs, testers, modders and community as a whole.
Could the devs, on the basis of the reasoning of harpo99999's Reply #9, which sums up the case well, please consider a Stickied Bug/Issue Thread for each Elemental game? I think it would be great in many ways.
Best regards,
Steven.
