Im sorry, but you are missing the point. Im not interested in getting deeper into the mechanics of another site, I have taken issue with you on a post you have made on this board that I find offensive to me. Actually, its also offensive to others that post of that other board, but I now speak for myself only.
I would ask you to edit your post above, and actually, an apology is also in order.
Finally, I would also ask, where are the Moderators??? I thought all FT members were equal. I hope some members are not more equal than others.

FWIW, unless there has been some recent change, "Ess" is/was the "Moderator" here in "FT Community!"
Where she is, however, unfortunately, I simply can not say.
Perhaps we will soon see!

Upon re-reading my post a number of times, I find nothing that should be offensive. I listed the facts of the creation of the site, the facts of some members, and my opinion of how some perceive it today. And I did so in a very balanced way.
Again, no offense meant to you, and my apologies if you somehow see it another way.

I thought it was a fair critique (positive and negative) about MoreMiles.
So there is more than board, big deal. Participation on the one board does not, in general, preclude participation on the other.
IMO, questions about MoreMiles are best asked and answered there and not here.

However comma, I'm shutting down this thread as it has nothing to do with FT get-togethers.

Actually he wasing the user name of F U K U and all that we did was ask that person to change it to a more easily used name since we had received many complaints from other members that they viewed that as an inflamatory word/user name. And while it was mentioned above about an asian member - reality, he lived in Seattle, not Japan. We try and only get involved when members of the community ask us to. This was one of those situations. How would you pronounce this members user name? Now I think you understand, it's just too bad some members didn't know the entire story.
