Yes. How I look at it is this way:
A lot of the members coming to FT don't necessarily need the TalkBoard, but the Talkboard is fairly important to FT even if most people who just come here for points and miles don't really realize it.
I think it's important for the TalkBoard to relay opinions and the general FT consensus to Internet Brands just so that the reader experience could be improved, even if the majority of members don't care.
