Jumping the gun to create it was still kind of an assholish thing to do, not everyone who may have leaned against it before are going to bother voicing their opinion now since it already exists. If it's obviously a splendid idea and I'm the only one passionately objected to it for whatever innate skew, though, that's a different story. 
I think this thread is a disgrace. This is stuff that had to make way for more important stickies - no one will (nor should) post in these threads again and few people will read them at all. They're not particularly interesting, they were stickies because they used to be relevant and updated. When we unsticky threads we should unsticky them, we don't need a ghost cemetery in which to cherish their memory and pity their loss.
About the threads getting canned, I agree with all except the one on IRC. Most importantly, that thread holds the address of the chatroom. It tells the place is in fact an IRC chatroom and WTF that means, and explains how to get there with an IRC client. The message could be improved (eg. a bit more info on what IRC is, what's the point of using an IRC client instead of the java applet, updating it to post-chat tab form) but that's a matter of improving the thread, I think the topic itself is still important.
