I wonder if it would be difficult to make stickies and special sub-forums be in Bold and/or maybe in CAPITALS, and all other threads be in normal sized font? This would gain attention as soon as someone went onto a new forum section, but of course they wouldn't have to open it, simply quickly look at the last date/time of entry to see if it was interesting or not. Also this would solve the problem of visibility, since stickies don't update (rise to the top) as other threads do.
Noticed the same thing quite a long time ago.

Just an idea.
