Welcome to the Delta Forum Lounge thread! We are pleased to have you here!
You may call me
Canarsie. I — along with
obscure2k and
RSSrsvp — are the hosts of this lounge. We are here to provide you with whatever assistance you may need. However, don’t be surprised if, more often than not, your fellow Lounge mates are just as helpful to you — if not more so — as are we.
Before entering the Lounge, please follow the recommended guidelines:
- Content in mileposts pertaining to the discussion of controversial topics, such as politics and religion, will be subject to editing and/or deletion. Off-topic discussion is allowed in this thread, but remember — this is not the OMNI forum, so please do not treat this thread as such.
- No milepost padding will be allowed at any time. Excessive mileposts are subject to deletion.
- As with the other Delta forum threads, this thread is subject to the same guidelines, rules, terms and conditions governing FlyerTalk. While we do not like to do so unless absolutely necessary, your hosts, including I, will take action if deemed necessary.
- Please try to respond to multiple mileposts at the same time by including the quotes in one milepost. This helps to reduce the incessant “bumping” of this thread and also may make this thread easier to read.
- If a different Delta forum FlyerTalk thread starts to go off-topic, please continue the discussion in here. It may be helpful and convenient to others if links between threads are also provided — one in a milepost in the original thread with the words “Continued in the Delta Forum Lounge thread” linking to the pertinent milepost in this thread, and the other in this thread with the words “Continued from the (insert topic here) thread” linking to the pertinent milepost in the original thread. Reducing the humor and other off-topic discussion in the other threads will help in keeping those threads informative with valuable information for those Delta forum FlyerTalk members who are primarily looking for information.
We trust that Delta forum FlyerTalk members will use their good judgement, as they have done for the most part in the past, in ensuring that this thread remains civil, with a fun community spirit that may be shared by all.
This Lounge serves many purposes, with the main purpose dedicated to improving and strengthening the Delta forum community and its spirit, as did the now-defunct
Unabashed Cholula Spam thread (may it rest in peace) — although the Lounge is intended to be much, much more than merely its replacement. For starters, the topic is broader, less restrictive, and much more general, which will allow for more participation by a greater number of Delta forum FlyerTalk members and for a greater number of topics to be discussed. Due to the name “Delta Forum Lounge”, it is easier by more Delta forum FlyerTalk members to identify and understand the purpose of this thread, so no one will feel left out from participating in the Lounge. It is also meant to relieve and reduce the off-topic discussion that in the past has been widely pervasive in other Delta forum threads, which will help in keeping the other threads remaining on topic, ultimately rendering the Delta forum as more valuable to a greater number of FlyerTalk members. The recommended purposes for this Lounge may be found
here, followed by a
general tour of the Lounge.
There is no cost to join the Lounge. Membership in the Delta Forum Lounge is included with your FlyerTalk membership and everyone is welcome. This is a place where one can take a break from discussing Delta Air Lines and its SkyMiles frequent flier program without having to leave the Delta forum, so come on in, kick off your shoes and relax for a while!
