If sticky posts were possible in beta-test there would be one titled "Why 
are betas time-limited" and another one titled "How to bypass the time limit 
on betas", which would prevent having the same discussion over and over. I 
understand that NNTP has its strengths for certain types of discussions 
(namely the long-winded rambling kind we have here) but there are very 
practical reasons for the popularity of web forums.
