I've said this before... (but then again probably 80% of people on this thread are repeating themselves.

If VX is so savvy about new media, social networks, digg, etc., they should be begging Randy to provide a liason to FT a la the esteemed Starwood Lurker.

So koko is right - y'all should be harassing VX. Explain to them why FT is a major player, and that they're idiots if they're not here in an official capacity, and that they need to help you spread the word about the cause. If VX really cares and is as savvy as you think they are, they'll show up and offer an official liason. And when they show up, I suspect you'll see at worst a 7-2 re-vote authorizing a new forum.
