Extremely useful for several reasons.

I use this feature to ensure that all staff members see changes/updates/important threads in the staff lounge.

I also use this feature to ensure that new members have at least seen a thread that points them to the rules/faq/staff list on the forum.

And since we have sections that have special rules within them, we have this feature set up so members are forced to read those special rules the first time they enter the section.

This hack makes rule and update communications much easier, saving sticky threads for the important things like historical lists and references, instead of inundating members with tons and tons of sticky threads everywhere they go.

Stellar hack.
