I have great admiration to everyone who contributes to this forum. It is one of my personal favourites and whilst I often struggle to set aside the time to document my own trips, I appreciate those who do. Authoring a trip report is mammoth endeavour in its own right so I think it is important to acknowledge the immense value reports add to FlyerTalk.

I would encourage hosting all reports on FT. One of my favourite writers, mitzyli hosted her enchanting reports on her personal blog site. These witty and tremendously useful travelogues are now sadly lost in the ether. Of course, the major benefit of hosting reports on FT is that it allows researchers to use the search tool to find them.
