Well hey now -- a new Box! :-:

Rule #22 does not apply to #3.

wow, the box in teh "official" UA forum. I feel all discombubulated..... :p

This place is shiny.

It can, we just reserve the right to shame heretics into compliance. :D

Excellent...We're already seeing the synergies of this Merger affect FT...pretty soon there won't be a Box in the CO Forum or have a CO Forum at the least and it'll be run by FT-UA Moderators...

:o

yup :D

Wow! P:rolleyes:st on first page* of New New B:rolleyes:x?! Sh:rolleyes:cking! :D

*All real boxers have posts-per-page set to 40, of course. :p

This post typed from my iPhone. :rolleyes:

Yawn... <stretch>

Post

Ahhh, another B:rolleyes:X...

I guess I will stop following the one in the CO forum... I simply cannot keep track of them all :eek:

Flight loads to KWI look pretty light for travel in three weeks...maybe I'll NRSA there.

Yeah.. that one is closed. :)

Yep...They closed our beloved CO one, another step in the merger integrati:rolleyes:n.

What if one complies with #3 but not #4? ;)

I'll refer this case to Comrade ALCO for judgment. ;)

Greetings yet another New B:rolleyes:x. Home of the good ol' ^^

Wow...so many new boxes. Wack!

The CO Forum is planned to be open for posting until at least full integration of the airlines. As far as moderator resources in this new Forum, as you can see, all four United Forum moderators and both Continental Forum moderators are actively and jointly involved in the moderation of this unified forum. All six of us have been involved jointly in the planning for the new Forum for many months.

I think the Box has reached syndication at this point.

Guess I better start accumulating beer now so as to sway the vote.

Wow, more activity here in the past couple of hours than in the past week. ^

Emphasis mine. Does this mean we get to discuss the Golden Share again?

This, I like to see. Is there free beer also?

This guy might be available to shame people into compliance.

It is not the box we needed, it is the box we deserved.
