FWIW, I still stand by the comments I made here last time this came up.
Re: #3, when I search on Google for "casino loyalty programs forum" FT is #2 in search results - I think it's good to still have it.

Google references searches you have made in the past and weaves into the ranking... searching for that phrase on a 'clean' browser FT is #3 for me, with FF (logging with my gmail account and cookies not cleared) its #1

Using Chrome incognito, I can influence the results.
Googling "casino loyalty programs", FT doesn't show up for at least two pages of results (I didn't drill down any further).
Googling "casino loyalty program forums" bring the FT forum in question to #2 in the results.
The question would be how frequently searchers use the latter phrase? Only Google would know that?

And how does that compare with FT-related results for "airline loyalty programs" vs. "airline loyalty program forum" (or discussion)?

I strongly support keeping this forum and perhaps re-evaluating the Spirit forum idea.
In many ways, CET, MGMMirage, Boyd, Laudry's (Golden Nugget) would qualify for hotel chains themselves. It should be noted, that the biggest & most expensive (build cost) hotels in the world, are Casinos.
