I'm not sure if public "me too's" count, but I am another voice for a dedicated LAN forum. With respect to the quantitative aspects of the forum creation guidelines, given the pending merger in 2011 and the creation of a South American mega-airline we are currently at the point where FT can either be slightly ahead of the curve of the events or eventually behind. This is truly an opportunity to start small and let FT LAN userbase grow with the airline. Other than some time and HDD space, I do not see the downside to being slightly ahead of the curve.
