I don't think it is a "keeper" issue.

The problem as it is now... folks who host DOs don't always post them on the FT Calendar which is a separate thing completely from FT Community which is where the DOs are posted. In fact, the Calendar isn't even easy to get to.

I for one, would not post a "hey do you want to get together for dinner" on the FT Calendar. But I would post it in Community.

It seems like the same folks who complained the last time are complaining again this time. And while I agree that there is a lot of extraneous stuff in the Community Forum, I don't see where getting rid of the extraneous threads is gonna solve the problem that you can't easily search for DOs by date or location and that threads roll off the master view after five days of inactivity and off the first page a lot quicker than that.

You know what? I'm just gonna go ahead and start the thread that I'm envisioning. If you don't like it - flame away. I'm pretty flame retardant. Or better yet, just don't click on it. :P
