Having spent a lot of time in the Delta forum, I tend to have a negative view of trying to increase the entertainment value of their posts. I could link a lot of posts that I think reflected badly on Flyertalk as a whole. I like our sense of community but I don't want Flyertalk to turn into a cliquish place with everyone trying to one up each other on being funny and getting likes. I want this to stay a place where we talk about miles/points/travel etc. and focus most on that.
