Thank you, Randy for the extensive answers. I love FlyerTalk and have been hanging out since mid-1999 so I have seen a lot of progress and I spend a lot of quality time here. I appreciate having FlyerTalk, it is an incredible phenomenon and I thank you for creating hosting and running it.

My comments:

1. As an entrepreneur, I can understand not wanting to make an investment in a "my flyertalk" concept.

2. The biggest issue that could be handled easily I would think is the difficulty of navigating from one forum to another forum if that forum is on another page. The drop-down that lets you do this does not appear until you drop out of a forum and go up a few levels. This makes it very awkward and uninviting to post on other pages and to flip from a forum on one page to a forum on another. The "jump to" only lists forums on the current page so that doesn't help either.

3. By small forums, I mean a lot of smaller programs, airport-specific forums, etc., easy to spot given the low number of posts.

Solution: I think it is best to split a busy, mixed-up forum into two parts rather than into many parts. 100 forums is a lot.

Everyone likes to hang out with the crowds. Forums that can't create a crowd should be consolidated.

I firmly beleive that this makes FlyerTalk much better, increases activity and time spent on it and hooks people even more.
