does anything get moved out of program forums?

re luxury hotels - for example >
- many/most in luxury hotels forum arent really concerned with anything else, many only read luxury hotels forum
- percentage wise, almost no one on FT is interested in paying cash for luxury hotels with no program
(in terms of frequent flyer/guest and rewards programs, its practically the opposite of the rest of FT)
(i found it especially amusing that a recent commenter on lucky9876coins's blog referred to luxury hotels forum as "Flyertalk’s Aman forums" - with Amanresorts being an extremely well-regarded/discussed luxury hotel company)
