Looks like Flyertalk.com has really made it
I was doing an NFO survey recently which asked me which of a list of about 50 web sites I'd used in the last 7 days. The list included ...
"...
Ebay.com
Flyertalk.com
ABCNews.com
Netflix.com
MSNBC.com
AskJeeves.com ..."
(my bolding)

It would be interesting to see the traffic stats for the 12 months following 9/11. I bet they took off for a while.

There's been tons (or tonnes for the metric folk) of publicity after the US $2 fare special in mid-Apr and it's lead lots of newbies to check out FT. There currently a big discussion on the whole 'should newbies be limited to MR forum like CC & OMNI' going on at this thread.

It's interesting that people want to shut the door after they join FT. Oh, and please flame me.

Hundreds of thousands of people join F/T just to read my posts -- and who can blame them?

And since you're nearing 8k posts, they're working overtime to catch you before you trade in your posts for miles.
