I see this a lot. It seems to apply to topic that are very old. These topics are always at the front of a forum and makes the site appear as if it never updates its forums.

Why do we have so many topics 'pinned' - especially when they are not being replied to, sometimes by for years.

The Fan Fiction Discussion page is particulalry bad as 11 of the 16 topics are pinned leaving only 5 for 'recent' topics. It's bad enough that we only have one page to view (you need to search for a topic beyong page 1) but to find most of that given over to old topics, however loved and venerable, doesn't creat interest in any new stories or threads. It's a problem I've even noticed on your own suggestions page!

So, WHY?

maybe there should be sub forum for older fan fiction since most of the links are dead

Maybe whoever pinned them considered them the ones worth discussing? Dunno. I suppose if a story is good enough, it will be discussed regardless of others being pinned. Might unpin a ffew but as I have one up there it may not be appropriate for me to make that decision.
