Thanks for that informative link doc. I don't see anything there in that thread which mentions saving money, freebies, and sales, however. For example:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I noticed that there are quite a few posts about Mypoints in "The Buzz." I know mypoints.com offers frequent flyer miles while others such as freeride.com do not (and others like webbonusmiles.com claim they will). Since I suspect that readers of this board like miles & points of all kinds, maybe a forum titled "Miles & Points on the Net." I hope that's not too off-topic. It seems like discussions of mypoints, freeride, alladvantage, etc. could be posted there.</font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">A miles and points section would work very nicely and keep all these little offers for those interested.. and those who don't have the time to click on a zillion Web sites.</font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">How about "Non-Travel Mileage building Programs?"
(with the caption: information on point builder programs like ClickRewards and Mypoints)</font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I'm glad to see that there is support for this! With the proliferation of different internet points programs and "pyramid" programs like AllAdvantage, etc., this is more relevant now than it was in August 1999.</font>
And from Randy:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I hope you all know how much we value the input. This is one of those seemingly rare occasions where a variety of you all agree on one thing. I can do this and will take just a few days to properly think of the title and description for such a forum. I have noticed all the attention that MyPoints and ClickRewards get and it is pretty distracting to the other forums because of the vast amount of offers that just MyPoints sends out.</font>
All I am asking here is if the description of the forum has changed, and if so, could the change please be reflected. Surely we can all agree that posting in the correct forum is important, no?
(Furthermore, could you please refrain from your condescending "Folks who were here from the beginning" comments in the future? Just because I
registered with FT in 2001 doesn't mean that's when I first started visiting this site. I first discovered FT back in 1999, but I lurked for several years because I wasn't doing any flying at that time, and felt I had nothing to contribute to the discussions here...)
