This is how much the other known web hosting forum is charging for a variety of add-ons within its Dedicated Hosting Offers marketplace forum.
That's $1,000 a week for a sticky. If you keep it highlighted in yellow and in with bold title, that's $1,200/week. You keep it running for 2 months, you are out of almost $10,000 USD (that's $13,500 in Canadian currency). A year's worth of "stickiness" will run around $60,000 USD (just over 80k in Canadian money with today's rate). Premium members may be getting a discount (last I heard it was around 25%, but even with 50% off, that's still serious budget).
You look at who is advertising, it's globally recognized companies like OVH, Hivelocity, LiquidWeb. They've certainly got the cash. You see smaller firms experimenting with cheaper priced add-ons (like highlight or big&bold), but looking at one such example, the number of views your ad receives isn't significantly higher than of those that post ads free of charge. In some instances it's lower.
My question is: have you ever advertised via WHT stickies? Did you find it was worthwhile for your company?
