FlyerTalk is a free board for us and there are those who want Randy to sink additional resources into modifying this board. While some of the requests add value, I fail to see what value is added here. It appears to me this is more of a vanity issue than anything else. This community is not that large when broken down into the segments that each member travels to. I generally scan 6 to 10 forums regularly and know who are the significant contributers and those who offer little. I do this by reading posts, not by looking at a post count total. I do contribute to Omni and can say that a great many of my posts there, maybe all of them (probably 1/2 of my total posts) contribute little to travel and programs. However, approximately 1/2 of my posts are in travel related forums but not all of those add specific information regarding programs and travel assistance.

What is next, eliminate any post that contains only a smiley, then remove the rants that we all have posted, then what else? I think that FlyerTalk is fine just the way it is.
