The anchor symbolises that falling is enabled. This means that when you reply to a thread it will not jump to the top of the board.

Effectively The Anchor is the opposite of a sticky thread, which always stays at the top

No One Man should control this power. It's too dangerous.

Such a power would set you up amongst the gods....
....so it's only appropriate that said power is wielded by the God Mods!

So from info in that thread, it was a conscious decision to make this one a "falling" thread. That's a bit of questionable behaviour on the side of the mods. Let threads live and die on their own merits. |

Jim's question is probably best answered here
I've used the anchor on week threads when the new week has started in order that the newer week is at the top.
The anchor is deployed here for comedy value!
I have also, more than once, accidentally anchored a thread. There might be a key shortcut for it we're unaware of.
I didn't anchor the thread in conventions

But... the point of an anchor is to keep a ship stationary, not make it sink!  Martin |

In this case it is an active and continuing conversation so it is a bit harsh. Or we could just continue the conversation in the new week thread which could lead to confusion and Phil moving posts about. Neither is very good either. |

In this case it is an active and continuing conversation Which is the problem because the continuing nature bounces it above this week's thread in the thread list in the forum and can (And DOES) make posters think tat that thread is the current week's thread. Hence the anchor so that during the current week the current week's thread is at the top. The only other way to do it would be to pin this week's thread for the week. |

That sounds like a good alternative.
