I'm willing to wager some pretty safe drink coupons on this not being the case, especially considering all the discussion that has been going on here about ONSAFFP being the current place for VX. A copious absence of any "Where do I post VX items?" threads anywhere also makes me believe my drink coupon wager is a pretty safe one.

If I were a casual poster and I had a question about VX but I didnt see it in the drop-down list I might very easily conclude that FT is not the place for me.
Further I dont support this forum based on 'buzz' or thread or view counts. I support it because there is a cadre of VX flyers and folks with an interest in VX who are also passionate flyertalkers and want to have the forum. That's precisely how flyertalk itself started, with a small cadre of passionate flyers who were also passionate flyertalk posters. I believe that, just like FT itself, with that passionate cadre and so much to talk about, VX has what it take to make it as a forum here. Maybe I'm wrong. But if so, what have we lost? Nothing.
