IMO there is a well designed FT overview page and a short description of FTs main five boards. There are guidelines & rules, tips for (new) users (eg how to use the search function), FAQs etc… And there are threads on FT miles dealing with airports and travel. Maybe this was one reason that our host
Randy introduced moderation. I hope, that every moderator act out of these guidelines…

The FT staff arranged the new Travel Forum to have subgroups, obviously done for a reason. A guess of mine would be that it is expected that FT’ers will use the subgroups.</font>
This would be the logical reason. IMO it is not only a question of subgroups but also for main boards!

I agree with you, that this group exist. I also spot another one: People who like to get a profound answer in a reasonable amount of time.

Chexfan above has some neat ideas on condensing the Travel forum into more macro groups so the post count would be much higher, response rate much higher, etc.</font>
But see your previous quotation: If there is nobody who introduce the new structure and nobody to relocated off-topic posts, I see little change.
