There are a ton of questions on this website around status matches and unfortunately, they all get funneled into the one thread. The problem with this is that people commonly only think of status matches once or twice in their flying careers. They are not going to weed through one thread or even open the thread to see what questions might interest them. Users look at an entire thread such as the Travel thread and post on a handful of items that interest them.

The end result is that nobody who has done successful status matches looks in the thread as it is just a mess of random questions and there might be something in there they might be interested in, but they're not going to hunt for it. Picture how much the travel tech forum would suck if it was just one thread.

Status matching info is a huge benefit of FT. Really, status matching, how to use elite status and mileage runs are the nuts and bolts of FT. Sadly, we keep one of those nut and bolt combos locked away in the closet...
