Hello Bawn,
I think TMA's alternative to subforums is that you can select all the Eire related discussion here
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?s_id=850
and the Northern Ireland threads (the few there are) are here
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?s_id=10266
That's probably not quite what you mean, as you say, Ireland-related threads may fall out of sight on the forum - like any other discussion - if they're not added to. If people are browsing the Irish sites though, they should see a clear link to the related discussions at the top of the page, and then easily be able to add their own posts.
(A sticky thread is an interesting idea. I fear there'd be a series of similar demands. Perhaps long-untouched threads on view are more off-putting than none at all though, to prospective contributors. I will raise the idea with HMcG and the other Eds.)
TMA Ed.
