Sorta just don't cut the mustard.
Mustard and treacle, this is one hell of a messy keyboard. Why have I not noticed it in 4 1/2years.

Surely anyone who's ever posted anything on hootoo has contributed to the content of the site? 
Unless it's been removed, of course...

Of course - if us reprobates didn't bother with the site, the Italics would be out of a job

"Why does 'sticky' always make me think we sound like grubby four year olds?"
I can think of several threads which four year olds might feel are a bit unsophisticated.

You want sticky? Ok... 
Not the first time www.bbc.co.uk having computer press credit it as a good site, and with good reason.

What they actually mean is that we are 'like a stick'.
So: brown, mostly deadwood and a bit chewed by the dog.

"...a staff of thousands"
... all but 3 of whom are volunteering their services in one way or another. Even those who have never written a single entry, they're giving a part of themselves in every post.
We have our problems here - no doubt about that - but the fact that we seem to be able to work through them and still get along goes a long way to explaining the stickiness of this site
