Emirates Skywards - Airport Lounge Access Philanthropy Thread: Where does it hide?

I remember there used to be a nice thread / sticky somewhere on FT with generous travelers offering companion access to Lounges. I've been banging my head but can't seem to find it; neither can Onkel Google. (I'm too young for dementia, at least I hope! :( )
I faintly remember posts / Spreadsheets listing dates and Airports people were passing through.
Any wise sages know where this thread hides? Thanks in advance!
PS. I'll be travelling Emirates via Dubai / Frankfurt on 12th June; is there a way on the forums to give a shout-out to any fellow FT'ers / crew passing this way? (You can raid my newly acquired stash of German cookies :D )

A few of the individual airline forums on FT may have such threads. Since the topic can be something of a flash point ("it's allowed by the rules" vs. "you're committing theft of services"), some of these threads seem to have been permanently closed.

Reminds me of this article (http://www.baltimoresun.com/travel/la-fi-0506-golden-ticket-20120506,0,4246104,full.story) :D
Very interesting reading. Some excerpts:
The frequent fliers who flew too much
Many years after selling lifetime passes for unlimited first-class travel, American Airlines began scrutinizing the costs — and the customers.
"I can't even remember when I cracked 10 million," said Vroom, 67, a big, amiable Texan, who at last count had logged nearly four times as many. Rothstein, 61, has notched more than 30 million miles.
