As noted, it's only on a temporary timeout while myself and the TalkBoard discuss how best to manage the forum given that a number of members have concerns (and legitimate ones at that) about the posting habits of some of our members.
Rather than allow these concerns to go unanswered, I thought it best to go dark for a week. Who knows, perhaps we can learn to live without OMNI and concentrate on the value of information about our miles and points.
To those that I have inconvenienced with this decision, I really am very sorry but I hope to become more of a better solution for you than a problem.

I was thinking my 2-million contest entry was probably a week or two too late. With omni offline, I'm back in the running!

I understand the decision.
I regret that I can't access (read) some (past) posts.
Would it be possible to open OMNI for READ ONLY without any posting/replying rights during the OMNI-time-out?

Actually, I believe that it already is.
I seem to be able to access individual threads. There's just no index and no search. So you can go post by post until the cows come home...

What a rather neat idea for a Bulletin Board about miles and flying!
