Folks

Need your help and input.

One of the issues FT faces is the something we refer to as Mega-Threads. This is where the size of the thread in terms of total posts becomes so large, it's difficult to find what you're looking for. No one wants to wade thru 20+ pages of content when they only want to know for example, what seat they may likely experience on their flight from SIN to MEL.

We have 3 such threads here. On our own little forum.

The first one is the New Routes and Changes thread. This is by far the largest and was started in Oct 2010. The thread has 1107 posts and 171,000+ views. Clearly it is popular.

My thinking is that we will split this thread now into calendar year format, so each January, we will begin a new "New Routes and Changes 2012" for example.

The next thread is The Ultimate Seating Guide. This thread started in Feb, 2005, so much of it is out of date and 7-years is a long-time for one thread to stay alive. It has 443 posts, and in terms of views, it is slightly ahead of the New Routes and Changes thread, with 185,000+

The final "mega-thread" is the Building Progress of DXB thread. This is only a year old and has 259 posts and close on 27,000 views. I'm inclined to leave this the way it is.

I'd like you to vote for what your preference would be in terms of how we handle each thread. If you also want to add something, please do that below. We'll make a decision quickly, I promise.

Many thanks
