It might load first but people look at center of the screen not at top. Specially in a forum people quickly look for board about free vps or announcement board. If you have checked the feevps.us then you might notice they have set of stickies about these above all forums.

It's no rocket science. This forum already have 2 stickies above all forums and all need to be done is add another with all details about free vps.

Most users I know check the top first before the middle and the bottom.
It's called the viewport.

How did you know that the people does that? I think you are just talking about yourself.

Another Suggestion:
Use the MyBB GoMobile plugin.
I use my phone frequently in school.
