For those who might not be aware. OMNI used to have a 180/180 & logged-in restriction; this isn't coming out of the blue. Randy originally implemented the restriction because he wanted the focus to be on the core forums of FT, which are travel. You 'earned' your way into OMNI by posting in the core forums & contributing to the main purpose of FT, and having the timeline involved helped to eliminate pad posting. OMNI has always been a byproduct of FT, and not its main focus.

Cheers.
