The OP began with a question, "Any chance this could be stickied?"

I was following up to see if the lack of response meant:

1) Nah, the answer is "no."

2) World is ending, reply hazy, the answer is "the world is in chaos and upheaval, we'll make a decision when we can."

3) This isn't the place to request it, message "xxxx", the answer is "this isn't the place to request it, send a direct message to 'xxxx' instead."

Though perhaps I should include a... 4) the answer is, "oh, did you ask a question?"

Yeah, it's probably 4, as in THEY are discussing "How much 'official' recognition so we want to give to a fan site?"
