Well chat is normally active from 7pm-midnight Pacific Time (give or take an hour on each side). I couldn't figure out why folk who had never been seen before - or hadn't been seen in years - were suddenly on (briefly) until I figured out it was related to the contest.
I've done chat, review, & am premium, and I'm w/ obscure2k - I need to figure out the wiki thing & everyone knows I'm not a techie...
Cheers.

obscure2k, i went to sandbox today & even then felt like a total moron trying to figure it out/not getting it. However, I think I did one post. It shows up under Mileage Plus Summary. Cheers.

I've read through the Wiki, but I don't find anything that I could add that is new or different. 
I enjoyed chat. I'll have to get back into it, but it's usually late at night when I have the time.

While there are over 80k members - I wonder how many of those have never posted, or posted once only to disappear.
It would be a shame for a non-contributing member to FT to somehow get wind that he's the winner of miles and claim the prize.

Hmm, I 'think' I posted in the wiki - suddenly it's listed in the MP section but underneath what's publicly posted w/ a bullet point - no separate url/link that I can tell. Maybe I'll email 12days to find out if the Sandbox was too complicated for my feeble brain...
Cheers.

Sharon, you can look in the "history" section to see who has posted. For example, clicking the link on "Flying United", I find the 3 most recent posters are:
# (cur) (last) 02:32, 12 Dec 2005 GoingAway
# (cur) (last) 21:22, 11 Dec 2005 Bdjohns1
# (cur) (last) 23:22, 8 Dec 2005 Izzik
When I click "history" for Mileage Plus Program Basics, I find:
# (cur) (last) 18:05, 12 Dec 2005 216.229.35.69 (→Mileage Statement)
# (cur) (last) 18:05, 12 Dec 2005 216.229.35.69 (→Mileage Statement)
# (cur) (last) 17:52, 12 Dec 2005 207.200.116.70 (→Mileage Statement)
I have no idea what the IP addresses mean, as there are also a number of handles shown who have posted.

I played in the FT Wiki Sandbox with a tidbit about UA's former service to SPN. When I signed onto FT Chat a couple of days ago at 19:00 P.S.T., no one was home in the Buzz! room. Are there private rooms? SoreAss signed on just as it was time for me to eat my lunch, so I promptly signed off (with an explanation).
I still need to do a review. I expect there aren't too many about Saipan locales.
