The Duty Free Forum was approved. It was in 2004 and was the idea of
hfly , who was a TalkBoard member at the time.
The reason that it was never created is that nobody could figure out exactly how it should operate. There is just so much that can be discussed, for example, about the Tel Aviv Duty Free Shop having reduced prices on Brut After Shave.
It was clear that this forum would need a different type of formula -- perhaps something closer to a Wiki -- but in Nov 2005 a new TalkBoard was elected,
hfly was not a member, and the idea just fell by the wayside.
