If necessary, I can reorganize the FAQ thread so that the IRC channel post is closer to the top, perhaps as the second or even the first post and everything else moved one post down. Otherwise it's best to keep as the last post in the FAQ so it's easiest to find.

More stickies are a bad thing because we can't desticky the admin ones and the bug shortlist and strategy index are absolutely essential for the functioning of the forum. That would leave only the introductions thread as a candidate for unstickying, but I'd rather have that than a separate "Hi, I'm new!" thread for every new person.
