Yep, there's that data point. OTOH, DL/NW is a different, bigger kettle with a much larger school of fish ... and there may be other motivations behind keeping those fora structured the way they are.

I guess what I'm asking is this: On which date does Midwest Miles formally cease to exist and in light of that fact when does it make sense to you all (as FTers) to turn out the lights in both pre-merger (child) fora? At this point in time TalkBoard is no longer material to that question so it's largely up to you when to throw the switch. Just so you know, once moved to the programs graveyard those discussions are closed for good but whenever you're ready I'll pass the word on to Mikel at Flyertalk.
