Alternatives to this forum?

I started a thread asking Simon to pin the thread so the explanation about moderators/moderation wasn't quickly bumped down, or off, the first page. Shortly thereafter my thread was deleted and this thread was unlocked.  Personally I would rather it have stayed locked and pinned (if even possible) so it would be more noticeable and have more views.  By unlocking the thread it just becomes another thread - although de-emphasizing (and normalizing) the issue could be a good thing.
