Forums on Errorplan.com
Has anyone noticed errorplan has added forums to their site? (Just today, I think.) I don't agree with all their viewpoints, but this might be a good alternate site for our Canadian forum population. I'm finding the frequent FT outages and slow performance (no doubt compounded by the irritating advertising content) to be a bit frustrating. Also, I bet errorplan moderators ( 
) might be a bit more tolerant of posts that deviate from the prescribed subject matter.
Then, on the other hand, how much longer will these guys be around?

I agree, the advertising on FT seems to get more obtrusive all the time (or maybe I just notice it more when I'm on a slow connection) and its tendency to lock up IE if I touch the keyboard while a page is loading (on those days when FT is up) make another forum appealing.
Of course it's not the forum provider (FT or errorplan) that makes these discussions valuable, it's the co-conspira... fellow posters. If the FT regulars start posting on EP as well (or instead), it would quickly have value.
And if the EP forums evaporate one night, we'll all just move somewhere else, right?

All right, count me in; I was getting tired of this place anyhow...

Not a bad idea but it may be limited... people are used to FT, not errorplan. Somedays I don't have time to peruse one location for travel junkie-type news, let alone two.
Just hope it doesn't turn out to be duplication of what is here.

Just signed up - looks pretty cool - the only thing is we now need to go to 2 places or if we stop going to FT we may lose input from members in other forums.

I think the press will pick up quickly on the errorplan.com Forum "Made-in-Canada" solution and I think more people will get the message in Canada. I'll be watching and using both....I'm sure the AC lurkers will be, too!

The forum on Errorplan seems to only focus on our favorite airline.
