Hey -- it seems that I didn't rate either.

Might I suggest a trip to PLI for our dear Brituchenite*?

I made my last post in the PWP thread, 777. I felt it was apropos since I can't get to 1k. :-:



*Note, that this is not a comment on moderation :D:p:rolleyes:

Not quite a haiku, but reminiscent of a haiku.

Must be. I think I've only seen it once or twice with Hilton, Marriott, and Starwood.

Often, but not always. Looking at our conference rates for the huge annual event my company does for our clients each year, the conference rates are often much cheaper than what's available from the hotels directly. It's still months away, but as an example, our rate for the W San Francisco on the conference website is about $125 less than the going rate on SPG.com, and about $40 less than the pre-paid advance booking rate on SPG.com. And our rate comes with no pre-payment requirement and a 72 hour cancellation.

As much fun as many of you may be having running raids into the UA Forum, let's not turn The Box into a haven for denigrating other fora, posters, or moderation activities. Such actions really aren't in keeping with fostering any sense of community, are actually hostile to such, and do not square with FT TOS. There are approved methods for taking issue with other posters, threads, or moderator activity. Using a thread such as Teh Box to air grievances is not one of them.

The Box, deservedly or not, can create the impression of clique-forming and exclusion of others, which is decidedly NOT why it was created. It was created as both a venting mechanism for OT (still bounded by FT TOS), and for the purposes of community building. Let's try not to lend credence to any negative perceptions of The Box. It shouldn't serve as a base of operations for coordinated attacks on other fora.

All of us were new to The Box at one point, and we turned it into a thriving community by dealing with each other civilly and by being a welcoming bunch.
