As you can see, I've created a new sub-sub-forum, here, for showcasing all the excellent and rightfully stickied threads that were beginning to clog up this sub-forum. Thanks to edelweiss and others for suggesting it! And apologies to Uhlan for scaring him.
If everything was set up as intended - fingers crossed - only staff members should be able to create new threads in there but anyone can read and post in the existing ones. This is because it's intended as a curated showcase for a sharply limited number of threads that are of hopefully lasting interest; for a start I've included the old sticky ones plus a couple of others (and stickied a few about antiques restoration in their place on the main sub-forum).
I did try to find a way to have these threads show up in both the main R/M and Showcase forums but, as far as I can tell, the existing software doesn't support that kind of jiggerypokery, so at least for now the showcased threads have to be removed from the main sub-forum in order to be displayed in the Showcase. I hope this works out favorably, overall.
Post any feedback about this here, please, including suggestions for other threads to include in the Showcase, although no promises in that regard as I do intend to keep the number of threads there to a minimum.

Is that confusing enough?
