My own criteria for sticking a thread (or not):
- old enough (over 1 year most at least, in reality 90 % of the stickies started before 2010)
- still active (with actual uploads)
- enough posts compared to other threads of the same section
There may be some inconsistencies depending on the section, and yes in the end this is completely arbitrary. The indentity of the poster(s) may play a role in the decision.
By the way you don't have your own upload thread(s), and the two threads where you post are already stickied. :joker:
