A quick announcement on some changes that I have implemented on the Forum.
Level 2 Areas
These are invite only areas of The Forum. There is no post requirement, but I need to get a feel for your approach, there are a lot of great people sharing their hard work in these places and its not an all you can eat buffet. I want to see people with the right attitude joining this area.
The Forum is newbie friendly - we all started somewhere. I am not restricting access to people who have X years in the game or earn Y amount per month. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. However, as I attempt to vet people coming through the doors, there will be times that I ask a bit more of you. For example, if you have zero posts, or one saying 'Hi I want to MS' then I might ask that you hang out on Level 1 so I can get a feel for your attitude.
I'm not asking for 50 posts, or a resource to be built, I am asking that you let me see that you care enough about the community to put in a bit of time to share some wisdom. I have granted access to Level 2 based on a single post if I can get that feeling from people, and I have reservations about others that have posted 20 times but aren't really bringing anything to the table.
In short, you are welcome to enter Level 2 as long as you are a decent person who is putting in a little effort. If you want to read the Wikis, I don't want you here.
The Exchange is closed.
This was created to allow people to trade miles and points. I shamelessly got the idea from Flyertalk Coupon Connection, which had shut its doors. However, I have only attempted one trade on Coupon Connection and I felt that I was being abused by the other party - it was a disgraceful offer on their part. It is my feeling that such sub-forum attract too many unsavory characters, and as such I am shutting the doors.
There have been no reports of anything untoward on The Exchange, but it is only a matter of time that a scalper slips through and takes advantage of one of the members here. I have said this before, and will re-iterate, the biggest difference between this forum and a place like Flyertalk is that I care about you guys, and I don't want to see you getting screwed over.
I recommend that you forge relationships instead, and trade with people you trust, hopefully those you have met in person.
Level 3
The first Level 3 area is now open. It focuses on LM. This area is open only by invitation, though you can reply to a thread I started in Level 2 Travel Hacking to be considered. You are more likely to forge friendships than score deals of a lifetime from this area. There will be more Level 3 areas in the future, and they all will be by invite only, and invisible to other users. If you want to start such an area you can PM me to discuss setting it up.
