I never understood the need for Milepoint, but sometimes two quieter forums can be more valuable than one busier forum.

I just wish that the blogs and Inside Flyer magazine would mention the two forums more proportionately to their relevance. FT has much more activity and is the primary source for most FF program information. It's not that I like the Internet Brands corporation more than I like Randy or Gary, who are fine people. It's just a fact that FlyerTalk is where the action is.
