COPIES of admin (or user) tagged threads - get displayed in a special 'best of' forum

[Make Money?]

I get nagged all the time for a 'Best of" forum with the 'best threads"

But I dont want to disrupt / change the EXISTING forums - and I dont want to ROB them all of the best threads (as they would quickly become boring) nore do I want the forums to have a load of stickies at the top...

So I was thinking a copy thread 'best of' forum - OR SEARCH FUNCTION that could pick up 'tagged' threads that had been marked as 'v good'

I would like the tagging system to have different catagories..

Say for example

Best:
Pasta dish
Fish recipe
Cook books

I am not sure I want my users voting for the best threads - (I may want this admin only) as flame wars and +++++ fests might get voted 'popular' - and I dont want this sort of BS at my forum.. If I did let them vote threads into 'the best' catagory - I would want to be able to REMOVE certain threads from it.. to override the voting..

What do you think?

Does this 'tag it' - to 'search it later' hack - already exist?

Thanks v much
