That, in turn, would kill the geographical destinations fora.

The case for loyalty schemes and rewards is somewhat stronger, albeit not entirely free from criticism either. FT is not about loyalty schemes in general. It is about those related to travel. There is, of course, the aberration of SPAM. But the existence of SPAM would be a rather poor argument for the creation of any other forum. I accept that there is a loose connection between travel and gaming loyalty schemes, but it is just that: a loose connection. And my fear is, as referred to by Koko further up, a forum that would be nominally about gaming loyalty schemes would probably very quickly become a more general worldwide gaming forum.

I have no doubt that there is a case to be made to have somewhere on the internet a forum dedicated to worldwide gaming. What is more questionable is whether that forum should be on FT.
