As the AA Forum is one fo the largest on flytalk, I was attempting to help ALL of the users of the AA Forum, myself included.

Your comment implies that only large message count contributors should be allowed to add messages to Flyertalk. What would Randy say to your distorted logic of a COMMUNITY based forum?

The goal of my message was to have SOMEONE alert the Flytalk staff that they have a techicnal problem with one of their largest forums. I believe that all the users of the AA Forum would really appreciate any efforts to get it back online. Even if a low message count lurker has to do the alarm sounding.


the long version - , you've posted in technical issues, you posted in community (which is the forum for get- togethers, not complaints about downtime ) , you've called FT - yet you didn't bother to learn enough about FT to learn the most basic process for emailing tech staff.

In addition, you are complaining that NOTICE wasn't sent to users about the forum being down. This is a free service to FT'ers - the fact that one forum is down is of course important, but I don't think anyone around here expects a personal email when FT has a problem.
