I said before when we had this discussion, and I'll say it again, that I really liked AaToW. Now, as has been said, "How many different ways can you say congratulations?" and there aren't that many ways, it's true. It never bothered me to post an achievement and get 3 or so replies; occasionally an achievement would spark a discussion and that's great too, most of the time they just passed by the wayside. So maybe I didn't post a fifth "congratulations", I still read nearly every post and enjoyed them.
I think, also, a sticky would encourage more people to post trivial things like "I found a codestone while playing Neoquest 2!" But I think the current forum discourages a lot of achievements/tales of woe, and I don't like that either because I liked them.
As far as etiquette goes, when people find a thread REALLY trivial, they let it be known! As we've seen.
I would never read a stickied post; first of all, those things get really really long, and any conversation about the achievements (sometimes even unrelated, but good discussions) that might have been spawned in a thread would just not occur in a sticky designated for only one purpose. So I am absolutely AGAINST a sticky, that would be much worse than the present.
I personally don't see what the problem was in the first place that it needed to be changed. If people weren't interested in those topics, they can just skip that forum-- I don't even know what werewolf is all about, I was happy to see it move out of chit chat into it's own forum, as it made it even easier for me to just skip those threads. If that can have it's own forum, why not AaToW?
