Ignore the original posting date on any sticky, especially the locked ones, anywhere on DisBoards. Yes, the thread was started ijn 2004. However, if you look at the very bottom of Post #1 you will see the last update was last month, and Post #2 was updated only five months ago.
For example I run the locked sticky Everything About WDW Tickets in the TPA&S Forum. I started the thread in May 2007, the last time I added a page was October 2010, but I did a lot of updates just last month.
Sue does keep the sticky up to date based on information that others post in general discussions. So anything you see there is current and up to date.
