We should pursue TalkBoard for a workaround. Or else establish a thread inside this form for new alerts.

This post is completely inaccurate.

This subforum has been a topic of discussion by the TalkBoard for several years, and it came up again on October 8.

A motion was made for the new forum on October 17.

It was announced that the motion for the new forum would pass on October 18.

This forum was created today.

Here is the motion:

"The TalkBoard recommends to the Community Director the creation of a subforum called 'Premium Fare Deals' in the Mileage Run Deals forum."

Forum description:

"Discuss specific premium fare code 'good deals' including fare deals that book into premium economy, business and first class cabins. Once any fare expires, the title should be changed to note '[fare expired]'."
I hope the moderators will read the 'legislative intent' of the TalkBoard in creating this new subforum. The idea was a thread for a fare (or fare trend), the thread allows for discussion of the fare, and the fare title is changed to "[fare expired]..." when the fare expires, but the thread stays open for discussion of that fare.

Not really. Vote started almost a week ago. Forum was approved 5 days ago. No date was set for it, but it's not like this should've been a shocker.

Even before the vote, if you had concerns about how it would work/not work, they could've been raised in the very active discussion thread.

Isn't the Permium Economy thread supposed to be moved to this new sub forum as well?

Can we please move all the meta-discussion into another thread? None of it has anything to do with the thread topic. This thread should be for deals that don't necessarily warrant their own thread.
