More facts. Actually, we have had moderators in OMNI in the past and have burned them all out. The abuse a moderator gets from OMNI as well as the time it takes really takes it's toll. After seeing the burnout rate there, I opted to try and do it myself because i simply have too much respect for those members that were donating an escalating amount of their personal lives to this effort. I didn't view it as fair to them. Again, this points out just how different OMNI may look to some of our members who only see it through their eyes, not the eyes of others. As GU notes above, most if not all members really have no idea of what it takes to make FlyerTalk work the way it does. Hopefully by hearing of some of these efforts, a few members will appreciate a bit more what they have.

I hope this topic does not alarm anyone. We have no plans to change OMNI overnight and may not likely make any changes at all. But it is nice to "take the temperature" once and a while.
