Further fragmentation of FlyerTalk does not necessarily make it easier to find information. Rather than having a separate forum for every program that hints that a FF program is coming (or has even established one, though it may not be very good), a "miscellaneous" forum makes sense until such a program has demonstrated a demand.
While I appreciate the people who have weighed in on supporting a VX forum, the demand just isn't there yet. Obviously, other TalkBoard members may feel differently.
I compare VX to Independence. Maybe it fails, maybe it succeeds, but either way there are people who are passionate about the airline and passionate about flyertalk who are looking for a forum. And they deserve one, imho.
The airline itself will either grow or die. Either way the forum will serve a useful purpose (either as a vibrant forum or as a fascinating archive of a failed airline/frequent flyer program).
Grrrrrrr...if we were allowed to open the TB debate forum on a read only basis I wouldnt have to make these same points in two different places! @:-)
