In 2011, even after March, the blogger was actively participating on FT but then the posting indeed dried up. In 2012, no posts at all from VFTW blogger; but in each of the years since 2012, FT got a few posts each year from VFTW blogger. FT doesn’t matter as much to miles/points bloggers as it used to matter, but being “competition” of sort seems to have been the explanation for the huge drop in active participation from 2011 and after.
