Method can be made static, but should it?

Question

Resharper likes to point out multiple functions per asp.net page that could be made static. Does it help me if I do make them static? Should I make them static and move them to a utility class?

ReSharper isn’t actually suggesting you make your method static. You should ask yourself why that method is in that class as opposed to, say, one of the classes that shows up in its signature...

but here is what resharper documentaion says: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/ReSharper/Member+can+be+made+static
