Sorry - missed that earlier.
When I was logging in just now I accidently clicked on sign-up & the following popped up (along w/ a box to agree to the FT guidelines & a link to them).
"FlyerTalk features discussions and chat boards that covers the most up-to-date traveler information. An interactive community dedicated to your favorite topic: frequent flyer miles! That's right: all miles, all the time. The FlyerTalk forums are open for business 24 hours, 7 days a week. Even better, all travelers -- from vacation travelers to mileage junkies -- are welcome in the community. Just enroll and you can get to the business at hand: conversing about programs, how to make the most of your miles and points, general travel, airports, destination and dining information."
I wouldn't mind something similar on the home page. Right now the homepage just says "the largest online travel community".
Cheers.
