LatinPass/GlobalPass forum - Move to Discontinued Programs?"
 
I made the following post in the TalkBoard forum yesterday...nothing official, just my personal thoughts - this, at this time, isn't up for vote or anything - just wanted some member feedback....

Quote:

I think that the LatinPass/GlobalPass forum should be moved into the discontinued programs area of FlyerTalk.

When you go to their website - http://www.globalpass.com/ - and click on Provders, no names come up under the Hotel or Rental Car...very few links work their website & there's been no serious activity in a long while...

They haven't had a press release since 2006.

I couldn't find a major carrier that uses them - TAM & Avianca both have their own programs...

I think it's time to push that forum aside...not sure why it wasn't done sooner...

thoughts?

I actually suggested that a couple of years back but TB voted against it.

What I would suggest would be a better idea than closing would be to move it to discontinued programs/partners: Latinpass is part of FT history (remember the great Latinpass Million mile run?) and should be kept as such in the discontinued programs section. While Globalpass still exists, the current version is a wholly different program which bears no resemblance to the original version. In its current incarnation, it is a program that would fit the S.P.A.M. forum more than anything else.

So, what I would suggest would therefore be to move Latinpass/Globalpass to discontinued programs. For those who are particular on things being in the right place, strictly speaking, one could move the new globalpass-type posts (there aren't that many) to S.P.A.M. and only leave the posts relating to the original Latinpass and those related to Globalpass (version 1) in the Latinpass/Globalpass forum. But, frankly, I do not think that it would be worth bothering doing that given the absolute lack of any interest whatsoever by FTers over the current Globalpass program (I think that there were something like 2 posts over the last two years, both made in error, IIRC).

This makes sense to me.

Sorry - the thread title isn't what I meant, regarding closing it...

I meant move it to the Discontinued Programs area, as noted in my first post...I'll ask a Mod to change the title...
