I’m a relatively new member and although read a lot of the threads am not a major contributor. Yet. However, I do feel a lot of well-established members have not moved with the times. I don’t think I’ve looked at the home page to understand the original purpose of the site since I joined. The clue is in the title: it is “flyertalk” not “frequent flyer programme talk”. If the threads were strictly about just FFPs the great range of threads would not be allowed (this morning I have already read about macaroni cheese pies at GLA and the BA strike – neither of these are strictly related to FFPs but do form part of the whole flying experience which is what I want to read about).

I have several gold cards from various FFPs but also fly easyJet and want to easily find threads about LCCs as well. To my mind easyJet and Ryanair are different beasts and deserve their own fora.

Websites develop and change. Their members should too.
