Also can new threads be prevented while still allowing replies to old threads?
Good ideas!

To make FT members ask existential questions of course.

Good luck getting a response from anyone with any actual power. The mods have been totally unresponsive.

They may have their hands full with the Consolidated forum at this point - I've seen several times over the past two weeks where over 500 active users are up at one time - right at this time as I post this reply, FT shows 562.

Personally, I think that this forum should continue to exist and be open for updates to existing threads and allow pmUA members to post new threads to pose questions pertinent to pmUA fliers. I'm not convinced that discussions such as which stations still provide card stock boarding passes are of interest to the Consolidated forum nor would pmCO people care about M+ purge data prints.

I think that for the foreseeable future that this forum should continue given that there are topics of interest and relevance to the pmUA FT community.

That was the answer that came to my mind!

I disagree with deleting old threads with no recent traffic as there is still relevant information in there that can be searched. There are also several with comedic, historical and sentimental value (9/11 post, as an example) that I would not want to see disappear.

At the same time, I would have no issue with moving all of them over and closing down the sub forums.

+1 on locking this forum and keeping new discussion on the consolidated forum.

I agree, especially now with the merge of the computer systems. I hate having to check this forum and then the consolidated one. If there were just one, it would be simpler, I think.

Perhaps we should put this to a TalkBoard vote.

I agree with SFflyer123, by the way.

Unhappy This place exits for unhappy folks !

The issues on these pre-merger threads may outlast the merger, so no need to shut it down or stop Replies.
Wih all the whining here, I am more then Happy to stick with the PMCO! ^

Strange that there is even discussion of locking this forum.... folks, the precedent has long been set. The PMDL and PMNW forums still exist. We're barely 3 weeks into this disaster; why would they shut this down already?

Unhappy You are not completted to check each forum unless you are interested in the material.

So you still can review posts in a more organized way without mushing them together for a BIGG messy intermixed UN & CO Forum!
Personallly I prefer to read the CO threads ^ then the UN, which are all over the place.
