Unhappy People, enough already!

A separate forum provides several technical benefits that aren't available from an amalgamated forum.

--You can subscribe to it
--You can search it.
--People interested or about to fly it, can go there to see comments.

I think it's a little unfair to compare it to the foreign carrier mentioned because it's apparent from the number of recent posts that there is stronger interest in Virgin America.

This interest is increasing as Virgin America adds cities, prompting more questions from new people it can serve.

given that a program is coming shortly, the number of posts showing up already and the technical advantages of having a separate forum, i'd suggest a separate forum is in order.

But yes, i would expect initially a number of the posts would be about the service, not the flyer program.
These arguments, and more, were clearly made the first two times this topic was considered. They were deemed, via the results, insufficient.

As misguided as I believe the TalkBoard has been on this issue, the reality is, nothing substantive has changed with VS or the Elevate program since the last attempt.

Rather than antagonize them with bi-monthly requests, can't we just wait until the program gets launched, and request that it be revisited at a point in time that their stated concerns have a shot at being overcome?
