Airport Forums
Any chance of putting a "stuck" thread at the top of each airline forum, with links inside to the respective, official airport websites? It's always good to know what airlines are in what concourses, etc
I always google to find the sites and have to wade through the hotels and other stuff the search finds before zeroing in on the right link.
Just a thought.

Another suggestion (don't mean to hijack this thread...ok.ok..ok...I do):
Can we rename "Localtalk" to "Airport-Talk"? I guess I just - even now after a month- don't correlate LocalTalk to Airports. When I hear Local Talk I think of where you can post about specific desinations, etc... I think that would draw more interest. I've noticed a dramatic drop in the number of posts in those forums since the cutover, maybe that would help increase the posts and content there.
Thanks for all your hardwork!

Randy can probably answer this better than I can, but I believe that the idea behind local talk is much larger than just airports, so that localtalk is a place to discuss any issues related to those areas -- including airports.
This was the idea even on the previous incarnation of the board when it was called "FlyerTalk Airports."

I was always under the impression that the airport forums were really just about that - issues dealing with the airports themselves.
