If a moderator thinks it's a quality or important thread, they'll stick it. Although that's for pinned topics at the side. The ones at the top are mostly just rules or FAQ's.
Actually, the topics on the right side of a forum are Top Forum Topics. These are displayed based on how many times the thread is saved, unless something has changed recently.
A thread is a sticky (or pinned thread) when it's at the top of the main list and stays there. These threads are explicitly chosen to be there by users with a high enough security role, like moderators and administrators.
Likely, OP, you won't have much of a chance of getting "stickied" - this is normally reserved for serious business. But you certainly could have a topic become a Top Forum Topic and show up on the right side.
