At this point, I'm in favor of splitting MB into a Buzz forum and a Questions forum. However, I have two practical questions I haven't seen a good answer/solution for:
1. How are dupe threads handled between buzz and FFP/CC forum?
2. What should the questions forum (which I'd like to see sit at the very top of the forum hierarchy) be named to encompass both newbie flame-free questions and trip/award planning questions?

On #1, I'm actually flirting with the idea of having the Buzz forum locked. Then mods could move buzzworthy threads from FFP forums to MB and then instantly back to their home forum leaving a permanent redirect. I hate dupe threads and find them very inefficient.

If people don't like that idea, I'd be in favor giving Buzz a very explicit mandate to be overview only, with a link at top to main, in-depth thread.
