For something inaccurate, why would it be the pinned thread with nearly all the activity?

- AgentME 8y agoIt was a containment thread to keep certain discussions from taking over the rest of the board. It was pinned so it would be more effective at doing that. However, it then stole most of the board's activity and/or attracted its own set of users.
