majorwibi - perhaps you do not completely get it.

OMNI is a totally done deal. Kaput.

Want to argue for other Forums to join it go ahead .. free country. This is the place to start a new thread. @:-)

NO other forum has a single nonsense thread with several folks posting over 10,000 times each to it. OMNI does, and not one single post contributes to miles and points in any way, to any member.

Play away for as many hours as you have free time, by all means, but the posts do NOT count from now on. Seems fair to me. And that decision has been made.

As I said add a Sudoku portal there and voilą - 1,000,000 more posts also not related to flying or miles or points. Start a Immedaite Gun Control debate forum, and you'll add another 100,000 - 500,000 posts in months. Actually I'll join that one for sure.

Have a 'Right To Life' forum and add another 100,000 - 500,000 real fast. Let the Amish have a little corner to hang out in perhaps. Or the Black Panthers, Hells Angels, KKK of the friends of Ross Perot - or even Elvis Presley lookalikes. FT will look like a very badly run flea market if those moves go ahead.

It is far too fragmented and disjointed as it is now - IMHO.

Randy seems to feel FT is big enough and respected enough in its core areas that is does best, not to need to add Sudoku type frippery just to artificially boost overall post counts. Smart move.

The fact some members of the current TB are very high on that posting list in that one thread - and voted against it last time will likely mean they will again - no doubt about it in my mind. We will all see in a few days if I am correct. A lot of the TB has a very high % of their posts in OMNI, and self interest clearly seemed at play in the previous vote - IMHO, and I made that view clear at the time.

But it is now a done deal at Randy's direction. So are the Freddie's dates and locations, so are what style the fonts are around here. The system works.

All this rampaging thread is hot air to appease the huddled masses led by 2 cheerleaders. Like sending a petition to Congress signed by a few people to demand they lower income tax by 10%. Possible to do, but an ultimate waste of energy and resources.

Move onto the next crusade is pretty good advice.

This one is a show trial.
