Look at DL or NW or HHonors or any forum on FT and the range of questions and comments are all over the place.
Casinos offer points, FT is about points and miles so IMHO, FT should have a casino forum.
well said, mikey1003 ^
I don't have any issues with regard to "conversation-creep," but, IMHO -- if you are going to have issues with "creep" then it must be dealt with ON ALL OF THE FORUMS OF FLYERTALK --- and NOT just selective forums.
So, as long as some forums allow unlimited off-topic discussion (BA forum comes to mind as a stellar example... though, I really hate to just point out one, as there are many) --- then there shouldn't be a worry in the world about this happening in any [NEW] forums.
If FlyerTalk wants to limit "creep", so be it --- but, that limitation of "creep" should be consistently administered with regard to all forums, otherwise, it is quite a bit disingenuous.
Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been around much over the past week -- but, I'm working on a multi page trip report (started on my blog... and to be posted on FlyerTalk) with regard to my recent Vegas exploits.... and, I have a hugh trip this weekend to Atlantic City.... so, I'm glad folks were able to carry on a very legitimate and cordial discussion with regard to this potential new forum.
Cheers to all! and a big THANK YOU to everyone for your comments, thoughts, and support!
