Why is this thread always on top ?

"Buying my first airbrush Questions."

[bobthehobbyguy]

Becuase the original topic was pinned. The message that it was is also pinned.

Why was it "Pinned" ?

Who pins them ? 

[Greg Myers]

and,   Topic was moved to forum Model Building Questions and Answers

[bobthehobbyguy]

The moderators pin topics.

It was moved to questions becuse that is where it belongs.

It's a frequently asked question and it's easy for everyone to find if it's pinned at the top of the first page of the category the topic belongs to.
The moderators are the only ones that can pin a topic.

Usually, the moved thread notification goes away after 30 days. Apparently that is not the case for pinned threads that are moved. I unpinned the notification, so hopefully that fixes it.

Because ..members keep asking the same questions ..about the same topic, so..all questions regarding this topic,.. are redirected to the most prevalent discussion... and since the topic of what airbrush and booth and compressor to use are popular,..I assume they put all of those similar questions into the same, or like category ,..to save space and repetitive questions,,..like yours...

Maybe

So MY question will be pinned and moved somewhere else and we'll all be looking at IT for who knows how long ?

Doubtful. Most online forum users are familiar with the concepts of "sticky" or "pinned" threads..   Your question about this was the first one like  that I have seen asked for a very long time.  Actually I can't remember last time I saw someone ask about sticky threads.
