A sunk discussion is a topic that doesn't rise to the top of the thread list any more when new messages are posted.
Mods are still experimenting with the new feature a bit. Deleting a thread is an extreme measure; closing a thread makes the discussion impossible; sinking discussions is the least disruptive thing. I personally use it for:
