Nothing much happening. The QR forum gets a ton more traffic, probably because :-
1. They have crazy sales every couple of weeks
2. They change their scheduled aircraft as often as I change shirts. So, somebody booking a nice new A380 gets an old A340.
3. They have a minor squabble with some of their neighbours at the moment
Emirates seem to be pretty "stagnant" at the moment. Nothing much in the way of new routes or changes to existing routes. Very few complaints either.
The most excitement seems to be when they have a new wine in F.

I'm actually flying BA in an hour (the horror!), Though domestic in South Africa, operated by Comair, so it's bearable (even free food and booze and a free exit row window during OLCI!)

As long as they have the Paradis and Chivas I'll be a happy bunny.
Biggest issue is controlling the alcohol intake. A few years ago I didn't even remember passing through Dubai!!
