Gary is now ex-Senior Moderator and ex-Talkboard President of Flyertalk. He recently resigned these positions to take on other interests outside of FT.

As for being successful, Gary posted on his blog recently that he has "reserved over 80 million miles worth of awards during the past year for folks." Now I don't know if all of that amount is just this program or also includes reservations for friends and family, but either way 80 million miles worth of awards reserved is a lot and tells me that Gary knows exactly what he's doing!
