I think it could turn into a Lounge™ thread. At this point, it's an experiment. We get many requests for help, and have many members who are willing to help, but we have been closing a lot of discussion threads because we don't want to clutter up the forum. This new dedicated discussion thread creates a "flame free" zone for deal requests and discussion.

Mistakes ($9 at IC HK) and Deals ($129 at Hyatt Kauai) should still be posted as separate threads in the main Hotel Deal forums. When we find that a thread is more suitable to a specific hotel forum or the travel booking engine forum, the discussion will be moved there. Some more general discussion may be moved from the main Hotel Deals forum to the Lounge thread.
In addition, we are re-working our policy on what gets posted in the Hotel Deals forum. We may now allow threads on noteworthy sales (e.g, Accor 50% off sale) to stay in the Hotel Deals forum, even if this means some duplication of information that's already posted in a particular hotel chain's forum.
