I think that FT is a medium for FF's to share their experiences in traveling. It will continue to be successful as long as new members come on board and share and older memnbers continue to participate. Sometimes it may appear to be boring to some of the old timers but this is part of human nature.
if you have been involved with FT for a period of time and are feeling bored perhaps you need to start telling people you meet in your travels about FT. My experience tells me that 90% of the people that I ask if they know about FT have never heard of it. i give them the website. This is what will keep FT fresh and relevant.
