AFF'rs come and go

[Pushka]

Is that quiz taken from ABS census? The figures dont seem right. Or clearly I know nothing.

I thought my post count would have picked up a lot this year. As it turns out I am down a thousand or so. Mind you, by necessity I am reading a lot more widely across the forum, so increasing my depth of knowledge. Now I just need to find the time to put it to good use.

So who is going to aim for one post only in 2016?

And I was concerned about being OT here!
(May need to return to a discussion on cage fighting. )

If they told you they wouldn't be cool.

I don't think it's a conscious thing - it's more a critical mass of active members (and that they enjoy each other's company), the perceived intimacy of the MEL lounges over SYD, an ability to get flights with points more easily from MEL than SYD, and I think SYD's just a more porous place than MEL, so it's harder to hold on to people for a particular area of interest.

And some SYD people just leave the country. (e.g. me).

And some SYD people wish they were back in SYD.

No. 1 for Australia, New Zealand and the USA

Likewise .

I know nothing about these meetings . Although the CKoM should prepare, I am hoping to burn the last of my AA miles for one last premium class trip down under late next year . Just let one seat each way (ideally in F) make it through to the AA booking window!

I was sure I'd had more than 1 post for December (well I have now), but I usually only post if I have a query or something to contribute. I don't generally join the welcoming "throng" - maybe some leave because they are overwhelmed by the welcome ;-)

Yes, that must be it

 

[Timtammi]

reminder to self to post more.. I read and enjoy AFF almost every day but couldn't even find myself on that list!

 

[SuzieQ68]

I've been a member since 2012, but didn't start to get 'active' (and I use that word loosely) until the last 12 or so months. I find that many AFF's know waaaaay more than I do so tend to only contribute if I really think I have something worthwhile to contribute (or a question). Most times the answer has already been covered off before I even read the question (how cool is the quick response from AFF's on this site), so I just try and absorb the knowledge in the hope that I may be able to pass it on down the track. This is a fabulous site (thank you AFF) and I'm looking forward to being able to contribute more moving forward.

That's an interesting observation just generally which I'd tend to agree with.

I do like the idea of MEL's intimate lounges being a factor! They certainly are intimate...

It's not the welcome. It's when everyone jumps down their throat for having the courage to post their experiences and thoughts.
