I think it is terriffic to have the old threads, but they should really be closed after no new posts in 6 months.
I know a lot of times I'll come to the site and get lost reading a thread that is 3 years old, rather than focusing on the new issues. I think more clearly illustrating which posts are "dead" would help that alot. (Now, that isn't to say those posts should be removed! ---they are still great reads!)
Also stickies to keep important threads seem overused. (edit: Looking at the site again, the announcement threads are what I am referring to. Maybe a thicker dividing line between announcements and normal threads in addition to fewer unique announcement threads?) 1-2 in each category would be plenty. If old stale threads were closed, then the perceived need for most stickies would likely vanish.
Also, The grid needs to be featured more prominently. Maybe a permanent link on the main page? Also, I'd get maps up somewhere easily found ---- maybe that could be links to wikipedia's conference pages or something?
