That actually means that no additional members of will ever occur, as reading 100% of would take....a long time!

Doesn't forum consolidation fall within the purview of TalkBoard? Looks like someone has already started a thread there. Maybe that would be a better place to discuss what's going to happen with the forums.
Proposal: United/Continental should be merge the thread?

I believe the decision has already been made the box stays. There would be an outright revolt among the box members if that was taken away.

When the forum is merged is not nearly as important as whether or not the box stays.

Wouldn't be surprising, especially with the new branding and logos that have already been rolled out on some of the CO/Chase MasterCards.

Sounds like a classic UA response to the issue! Consolidate, ruin the original product, heck offshore the mods to India :-)

We have the perfect little thread that serves its own purpose, but instead the Glenn Tilton's of the world want to bait us into a consolidation so our perfect little thread gets lost, our opinions silenced, and our products and services diluted :-)

Why is it important that they be familiar with something that they so extensively denigrated?

What difference will it make when the thread is closed?

Thread is not going to be closed, that decision has already been made.

The Box is a flagrant violation whose flamboyantly villainous occupants are indeed "revolting." Still, how could I be a super hero to the lurkers without a lair of supercilious super villains to defeat week after week after week.
