I think few things we talk about here on FlyerTalk are truly pressing matters.
The description is a bit long-in-the-tooth. Might be time for some housekeeping.
AA's description mentions "US Airways Dividend Miles Merged Airline and Programs", but the descriptions for DL, UA, and WN don't mention their most recent mergers. Doesn't seem like there's much of a standard for when this should happen.

Moderator Note
Anyone is welcome to send a formal request to update the forum description to me or the Community Director. Formal means include the specific wording of the new description and the benefit(s) of the proposed change.
My unofficial opinion is that there is still value to referencing VX. YMMV.

Well, someone updated it again. It now says:
Alaska Airlines | Mileage Plan
Alaska Airlines including Horizon Air

Thanks, looks much more accurate than before. The only other thing I'm not sure about is whether it should also mention Ravn Alaska:
Ravn Alaska signs mileage agreement with Alaska Airlines
Ravn Alaska signs mileage agreement with Alaska Airlines

We're certainly inconsistent. Witness a newcomer who brought up the description for this forum. But the desire is to make it as easy as possible for someone to figure out where to post a question. The hotel forums are even more dramatic in this regard. We try to add every one of their brands to their descriptions.
