Ummm one answer big Kahuna: when it becomes so cumbersome that you have to sift (without opening) through numerous kissing threads, birthdays, tributes to someone, etc where they start to outnumber the threads that should be in here, then it is a problem.

However you are right that we don't have to read the threads that we don't want too and I don't.. an example would be that I don't read most airline threads b/c I don't fly them.. that is why they are in their own forum.. so that people can go to or not go to the forum based on topic or in this case airline.. You know the definition of coummunity (& Omni) as well as I do; however the junk that was being posted here was clearly an omni topic(s).. I mean you could almost make any topic into a community thread if your reached far enough.

I have no idea why this thread is still alive..

I guess its my turn to LMAO

Trojanhorse
I couldnt agree more with your comments.Lets keep this thread somewhat clear of this stuff please...Some people may find it funny others may just find it annoying.Lets put it on omni where people know there not talking about anything related to get-toghters and the whatnot...
-howie

First I'd like to start by saying what Charlie Brown would say, "Good Grief."

Next, if Randy closed these kissing threads...Hint, Hint.

I wish you could all see my face so you could actually read what I'm really saying. But since I'm a troublemaker (originally from Brooklyn), I'll let you all figure it out.

On a side note, I seem to recall the same posters showing up everywhere. Including that guy from the Wall St. Journal. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Ever wonder why I never show up at FT events? You guys are just too whacko. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Kissing is a good thing. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif I like kissing. Kissing is way more fun than fighting. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

a kiss from Judas too?

And this is what confused me. Under this description, the kissing threads (silly as they were) seemed to be on-topic. I had assumed (wrongly, I guess) that if it had to do with Flyertalkers, it belonged here.

Now I know better.

How about a new board called the "Playpen?" (Sorry, that should probably go on the suggestions board.)

As long as I get my kisses from Pucci, I am over the moon. Need to find out more about this Brian character though!

Where does it say "party" forum? And what says "community" better then PDA? Tell you what: anyone who is grumpy about these threads, let me cheer you up with a kiss: :-x

I would prefer that discussion was moderated consistently. Some months ago when a topic of which airline has the cutest FAs was locked, while the one asking on where the gay bars in FRA could be found was left open, I find the logic hard to follow. Both topics had just as much relevance to a FFP.....

It's becoming pretty clear that the best way to settle this whole mess would be to create a separate FlyerTalk Hook-Ups forum. No, the GLBT Forum doesn't suffice.

Wow, I just noticed that four of the last five posters to this thread are Matts (five of the last six including this post, and if eMailman is also a Matt, six in a row). Thie significance of this phenomenon is left as an exercise to the reader.

Either that or people called Matt have way too much spare time http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Sorry, I am not now, nor have I ever been a Matt.

Whoops, been rumbled! But saying that, the people who worked this little pattern out must have a little spare time themselves http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
