This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition and 2018 edition.
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Does it count as post padding? Will get drawn back to 5,001 via banhammer?

Ugh. Raps leading entire game until now in 4Q. Seem to never be able to close it out. Ugh!

I can't see a sweep. Raps just couldn't find the bucket too many trips down the court late in 4th and too many turnovers doomed their night which looked good early with a lead of up to a dozen.

Or why this year we're on pace for a significantly lower number than the average. (2828)

But I can name a few people who are a lot less present on FT this year than in past years.

I think 2016 was all SAP, no? In 2018, Jack hasn't been posting as much (he's enjoying his cruises too much to come to flyertalk I guess ), and I feel like I've posted only a fraction as much this year compared to previous years. It also feels like a while since 24L or DC have posted in here...
Anyways, I went to Copper Branch for the first time. I don't know how they managed to make mushrooms that taste like chicken, but I like it
