I support this as well.

Though is all fairness it isn't "needed". If your event is popular then it will end up on the first page most of the time just from traffic. Only reason it would fall to later pages is if its a trash event and no one is signing up. Besides that you can also pay to get a banner on the forum for your event. Sponsorship for a free banner and possibly a sticky is also a thing.

Take my event for example, its not sticked, but it has not left the first page of the events forum once. hasn't even seen a spot lower then like 6th or so on the first page.
