It's better style to use pre tags, if I was handcoding code examples I'd use pre and then a code (in place of where the span is now). This has several benefits including the fact that it would look appropraite without any CSS and perhaps it would be best if the filter automatically created those tags.

A coincidental discussion about default user images on other sites I found:
Face-off: The blank faces at Flickr and 43Things (and last.fm)
Some interesting thought there in the post and comments.
I don't think it makes sense to compare them as they do different tasks.
It makes more sense to talk about using them in conjunction. A few people have been doing exactly that and you can find a few posts talking about that in the forums here.
I'm not sure what the original poster means by 'cache server' but all internet traffic at my institution goes through a caching proxy server. This means that any shared objects (e.g. icons or theme images in the case of Moodle) will be served from the cache if more than one person is accessing the same site (or even the same person at different times).
It's not really my area but I've heard Squid mentioned as a tool for this kind of thing. I think it might be what my instition uses too.
No, you can't create sticky posts, the discussions are always arranged so that the most recently active are at the top.
You can however add introductory text to a forum when you create it, which can be edited at any time by those with editing rights to the course.
This means you could, if the amount of info is small, place it directly above the forum. If it is longer then you could create a seperate resource and point people towards it. Finally, if it an actuall series of forum posts that you wish to draw attention to (and the information wouldn't be better summarised) then you can create a link to the discussion (just as you can make a direct URL link to any other part of Moodle) and place that link within the introductory text.
Let me know if this info helps you achieve whatever you're trying to do as I'll add it to the Moodle Docs wiki if it would be of general use.
