FlyerTalk

This question was submitted by member FlyBalletGuy:
One recurring issue on FlyerTalk has been about how much autonomy the forums can and should have. An example is when forum plans a get-together. It's been a subject of some discussion at the GLBT forum - no one disagrees with the idea that any FlyerTalk event should be completely open, but there are people who further object to discussion happening in the GLBT forum rather than Community Buzz. On the TalkBoard a recurring objection to new forums is that they splinter off the discussion and the community.

To the candidates: What's your position on this? Do you see the forums as having independent subcultures that can be fostered or do you see FlyerTalk as one group?
