Interpretation? Well, since many simply refer to FlyerTalk as "FT" I assumed he WAS talking about FlyerTalk and not the Financial Times (ft.com). And then a comment like "Almost a whole night with FlyerTalk" (edited for spelling and FT inrerpretation) I immediately thought he might have pulled an all-nighter on FlyerTalk just clicking around on threads, perhaps even visiting the archives and maybe even spending some time in chat (others have been known to do that as well). With the idea he might have stayed up all night on FlyerTalk, the next comment about the shakes seemed only a funny verb for perhaps his physical state of spending so much time on FlyerTalk.

As for being on MilesBuzz! - it might have been better in Community. If I had thought for an instance he was referring to not being able to log on, then surely that post would have been appropriate to Technical Issues forum.

As far as seeing things going downhill - i guess it all depends if you are either at the bottom of the hill already and looking up, or at the top of the hill looking down. Of the approximately 15,000 posts on FlyerTalk this week, my guess is that this one thread is likely not a true indicator of moving up or down any hill.

Speaking of hills - I'm so envious of all the almost 100 FlyerTalkers assending on Chicago this weekend for the comicwoman event. What an event that surely will be.
