Suggestion: amend name of VS forum
A housekeeping suggestion:
Change the name of the Virgin flying club forum to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
The purpose is to improve forum list legibility, i.e. the title is amended to reflect the correct name of the airline (Virgin Atlantic), its FFP (Flying Club) and also to avoid confusion between VS and VX/VA.

A capital idea, though is TB approval actually required? I thought from the debate about renaming the NYC forum it was a purely administrative process not requiring TB approval.

I think this was incorporated into my proposal to clean up/systematize forum names last year, but it fell flat. 
If Prospero's proposal ever did make its way in front of TalkBoard, I would vote yes. ^

This turned out to be more ambiguous than I anticipated. We (Jenbel, The_Banking_Scot) and I did settle on the proposed name change but apparently the proper name is the one that was in use. Now, they use a mix of names on their pages. Brand management, anyone? The new name makes it clear which airline is being discussed in each of the 3 Virgin forums.
