Some answers to some of the questions:

1) For the threads that where closed, a message was posted into what forum it would be moved. To actually go back and reopen and re-edit and reclose the thread with the exact link to the new forum becomes a long techinal process. Unfortunately some of the threads that were moved had been going on for some time... in duplicate, in the Buzz and the respective FFP. I apologize if it caused you any confusion to pick up the discussion in the respective FFP forum.

2) My understanding the change from webflyer to flyertalk domains is one that happened when the flyertalk domain was started. This is one more for the tech guys to handle than the moderators.

3) Closing topics "without logic"....perhaps one was closed in error, but the other closed topics were very appropriate. Even the moderators can be moderated by higher powers.

4) Thread movement heavy handed... only a very few have been moved, a very small percentage when compared to the whole. No attempts were made to hurt, insult, or reduce any contributions to FT by any member with the thread changes, it is simply an organizational move to keep the boards tiddy. Yes there will often be a judgement call, so please roll with us in the opening days of having moderators on FT.

5) As for some of the questionable remaining threads in the Buzz, we are working the solution to transfer them to other sections of FlyerTalk. There are some tech issues to be worked out to transfer them to one of the three other boards.

6) If/when another version of the "Baht Run" is started, it will be moved into the Mileage Run section of FT. Again, a judgement call is made based many issues.

7) We will attempt to notify you of any threads that are moved, but given the volume of work in any given day this may not always be possible, especially if the reply count to a thread is low.

8) Grace peroid.... well, hopefully we learned something over the last 3 years.

9) Loss of bookmarks is a tech issue, and a question to be directed to the tech guys & gals.

10) Remember, that FT is also a database, so we are also responsible to keep it "organized" as much as possible.

Please also see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/004894.html for some additional info on what is BuzzWorthy.

Remember, the moderators are here in a voluntary role to keep things running smoothly. If you have questions, please email us to help sort out any issues. We're all going to be going through a learning curve.
