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.
I concur with the Learned Mod and add the following:
1. If people want to link to their own site or blog, that's fine but if it's not particularly readable, then I won't be reading it!
2. I think that a trip report on here should contain some element of air travel within it.
3. The BA board sticky has a rather brilliant index by class of travel. Though it would be a rather large project, an index by airline and or class of travel would be brilliant given that searching on here (or via Google) isn't brilliant.
