Well, as for opinions, mine would be that this is a silly discussion about closing the barn door after the horses left months ago.

Good friends have reduced their posts to almost a trickle. Others have sworn-off FT for good.

We begged for a small number of fully moderated forums, where one could still go for quality, and the rest open forums for any and all. Too late.

When was the last time the Northwest rep who used to be here or the Hilton rep who used to be here participated in a discussion? After the first personal attack they saw, or the first flame war with obnixous, racisist, or stupid posts they saw, Flyertalk became just another internet buliten board to them.
