The discount thread got wacked

When did that happen?

Had it bookmarked and it's gone. Greatest thread ever. Probably brought National a thousand new customers. Still, anything that big can get sloppy. Had corporate codes.

Last conversation was about the CA code. Wonder if that had something to do with it...

Good to know. Sounds like that could be it. People were playing fast and loose with a government rate.

Some things are better left for private message.

Hope the owner of that thread puts a similar one back up. Much of that was perfectly within the rules.

I am an outsider to what happened, but let me see if I can explain. Company attorneys came to Internet Brands (owner of FlyerTalk) some months back and asked that the list be removed. IB took the position that the codes were publicly available and were simply a compilation. FT members had collected them over many years. Different folks had organized them from time to time til quite a lengthy list evolved. Then their attorneys tracked down an FT member who was the last to maintain the compilation. They found him off FT. He has a website that has nothing to do with these codes. They sent him a note demanding that he remove the codes. He has no resources to respond. He took the appropriate step and asked that the compilation be removed. The then moderator complied and immediately resigned.

I am sorry that the resource is no longer here for members.

No one. That is the whole point.
