FlyerTalk is not the same anymore, and here are my suggestions

1. There are too many forums on Flyertalk.

2. There are too many pages where these forums are listed.

3. FlyerTalk is not an umbrella site for all things travel, although this is something that Randy might wish it was. It is a focused site for a community of frequent flyers and all things important to them. Umbrella sites never work, they fragment into separate sites, each with more specific focus.

4. Put all the major forums on one page. MileBuzz, TravelBuzz, General Traveltalk, OMNI, etc. I'll call this the FlyerTalk Main Page.

5. Take away all the tiny, infrequently used forums from the Main Page. Put them on another page.

6. Do not arbitrarily move perfectly good and interesting threads to some "misposted threads" forum. That is insulting to people who have taken a lot of time and trouble to post in the first place.

FlyerTalk will be more fun, and have more contributions this way.

It will thrive and flourish.
