I think this might be something to bring up to the TalkBoard for consideration. I'd feel more comforrtable if decisions for new forums or even old forums was based on input from members for suggestions and from the TalkBoard for decisions based on input from the members they represent.
I do see that this topic is very popular on other boards and rally have no opinion about it's inclusion here on FT. I care only about miles and points. With MyFlyerTalk we can add infinite number of boards but prefer to have active forums only. More is not better. The Content is best.
