As others mentioned, it's mainly capacity related. There's a cycle - people come to FT, they learn, they develop knowledge, hopefully a clique, and no longer feel obliged to help others where they once wanted help. Perhaps they use this knowledge and go off and start a blog, or join another online community!

I feel a bit for Flyertalk here, can't win. Here's another deal (falls in Y, Y+ and C fare categories) that is amazing, first posted on JAN 19th, disappeared a couple of pages down, an error fare with a big airline, yet is still there:

I think when fares are genuinely capacity-limited, then it doesn't matter. When it's a "proper" mistake, however, the visibility that FT puts on a fare tends to kill it. The RGN fares, the OK BKK fares, etc. etc.
