The Buzz and FlyerTalk History:


In the beginning, Randy created FlyerTalk.
The Buzz was THE forum. Everything was dicussed there. It was where you went to hear what was going on in the wacky world of miles and travel and hotels and upgrades and get togethers and restaurant recommendations and itineraries and trip reports, et al. As FT grew, the Buzz became ridiculously crowded and so, the Buzz (at that time filled with lots of posts beginning with the word omni to indicate the thread was going off topic) spawned General Travel, Trip Reports, Only Randy, FT Community, FT Itineraries, and the daddy of them all, Omni.

But, the description of The Buzz thread never changed. It still carries a description that, to some degree, also applies to other categories. Silly I know. But a big deal? Naaah.
