While I don't use Coupon Connection that much as of late, I used to use it somewhat more back when first joining FT and I did benefit from gifts and trades with other FTers - so I would hate to see it remain closed for long.

And I think you acknowledged it as well. Just continue to enjoy FlyerTalk for its vast knowledge of miles and points and travel and there will likely be opportunities for you to continue to gain additional benefits by being an active participant.
So far members seem interested in adding additional requirements toward access to the forum and dividing the interest of the forum topics as well. And i appreciate the suggestions. And while one member seems to think nothing is wrong, it is still pretty apparent that many of our other members have a different perspective. But nothing we can't work together to resolve and reopen the forum. Hope this clears up any misconceptions you may have had. Cheers.
Is it technically feasible to add the following type of condition as a requirement for starting threads in Coupon Connection: FTer must gift X number of hotel, car or flight related items that are taken up by another FTer in order to have creation rights for Y number of threads?
Something like that can of course be gamed by those with an intention to do so, but at least it would involve the spirit of giving in some limited regard.
